A cook’s tip when caramelizing onions is to add small amounts of water to the skillet if the onions start to stick.
1. To make the dip: To a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent, 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions, stirring frequently to prevent burning until golden, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add in garlic, stir to combine. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
2. To a medium bowl, add the cooled onion mixture, sour cream, mayonnaise and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper, stir to mix well. Cover and chill for 1 hour to blend flavors. Transfer dip to a serving bowl.
3. To serve: Arrange fresh vegetables on a platter. Serve with caramelized onion dip.
