Herbed Goat Cheese Yogurt Dip W. Caramelized Onions

Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped caramelized onions
- 2 T dried dill
- 1 T dried parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 4 ounce goat cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- steak seasoning

Preparation

Allow the goat cheese to soften to room temperature.

Then, mix all ingredients in a bowl, using a fork to ensure they are well combined.

Let the dip sit for at least an hour (overnight is even better) so that the flavors fully meld together.

I like to reserve a bit of the onions and the herbs to use on the top of the finished dip; it looks pretty and gives people an idea of what's inside.
