My daughter came across this recipe a few years ago,
and I have adapted it to our tastes.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 3/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese
• Additional sliced green onions
• Breadsticks and sweet red and yellow pepper strips

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a skillet, saute onion and garlic in oil for 1 minute.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 8 minutes
or until onion begins to turn golden brown. Add the green
onions, salt, pepper and cayenne. Cook and stir for 2
minutes. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature,
about 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, combine the sour
cream, mayonnaise and cream cheese until smooth. Stir
in onion mixture. Garnish with additional green onions.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with
breadsticks and peppers.
