8 ounce package block-style cream cheese, softened, either original or reduced fat
½ cup sour cream, either full fat or reduced fat
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
½ teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Place softened cream cheese and sour cream in bowl of electric mixer. Mix until blended.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add chopped onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onion is soft but not browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
Stir cooled onion into cream cheese mixture along with the green onion. Mix well.
Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors. Can be made a day ahead, if desired. Serve dip with potato chips or other favorite chips, or with fresh veggies, or crackers. Makes about 2 cups.
