Sweet Onion Dip

while looking for lunch today for the kids, i found some breaded zucchini and eggplant sticks in the freezer that i had made a few weeks ago when stocking up on food. I pulled them out and remembered coming across this recipe. at first taste i was a little skeptical (the zucchini were still in the oven so i taste tested with my finger lol) but the minute i dipped a zucchini in, it was so good and i practically licked the bowl clean! I didn't even attempt to give it to my kids because i didn't feel like fighting a losing battle)

Sweet Onion Dip
from http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2011/07/28/baked-zucchini-sticks-and-sweet-onion-dip-that-bloomin-zucchini/

the above recipe also has a recipe for breaded zucchini sticks, but the recipe i used for my zucchini sticks is from skinnytaste.com (definitely check out that website... i have not found something that i didn't like there!)

1 onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1 cup mayo

add the butter and onion to a skillet over medium heat. cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is caramelized but not burnt (about 20 mins.)

add caramelized onion, honey, cider vinegar, and dijon mustard to food processor. process until smooth.
add mayo and stir.

enjoy with breaded zucchini or chips of your choice!
