Spinach & Vidalia Onion Dip

This recent Southern Living recipe is a different spin on a traditional spinach dip.  The caramelized onions make it sweeter.  Serve with blue corn tortilla chips or other chips and vegetables of choice.

SPINACH & VIDALIA ONION DIP

Recipe Notes

I decreased the butter from the original recipe.  You can also use any sweet onion (such as 1015's) if Vidalias are not available.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. butter
• 4 c. chopped Vidalia onions (about 2 large)
• 5 oz. package fresh baby spinach, coarsely chopped
• 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper, divided
• 16 oz. container sour cream
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh chives

Instructions

1.  Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

2.  Add onions and cook, stirring often, until golden and very tender (20-30 minutes).

3.  Add chopped spinach, stirring until wilted.

4.  Sprinkle with half of salt and pepper.  Remove from heat and let stand for 30 minutes.

5.  Stir together onion/spinach mixture, sour cream, and chives.  Add remaining salt and pepper.

6.  Cover and chill for 30 minutes or up to 2 days.

7.  Serve with chips and vegetables.
