Caramelized Onion Dip

One of my standard go-to dips is a caramelized onion dip that is not too fattening (really!) and makes enough for a crowd.  I altered the recipe slightly, as I found it too runny for my taste.  It is perfect with carrots, celery, cucumbers, peppers and radishes.   I like to include pita chips or pretzel thins for anyone who likes a non-veggie alternative. Happy Dipping!
