Instructions:

1. Garnish with chopped chives before serving. Enjoy with your favorite chips or veggies!
2. In a large skillet, melt the Earth Balance over medium heat.
3. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Reduce heat if they begin to burn.
4. Pour in the red wine or broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
5. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut aminos, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, and mayonnaise. Stir until well combined.
6. Once the onions have cooled slightly, fold them into the yogurt mixture until evenly distributed.
7. Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
