I do this: Finely dice 2 onions and 1 head of garlic. Put in an approx 9-inch pan and mix with 3/8 cup olive oil, and a healthy shake of salt, pepper, and paprika and parsley if you'd like. Bake at 375 F, stirring occasionally, until soft and brown. (At the end, as the liquid dries, the edges tend to burn -- watch it more carefully then.)
Sometimes I leave out the garlic if I am lazy. I like to pulse the onion in my food processor if I have it out for something else. I don't really measure the oil anymore.

But that's not a "classic" mayo based dip.

Thanks!

I was thinking more along the lines of the traditional mayo type, though maybe will try this one as well.

This is Ina Garten’s recipe and the secret is the caramelized onion. You don’t want them to burn so lo heat is necessary

Barefoot Contessa Onion Dip

2 large yellow onions
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
Cut the onions in half, and then slice them into 1/8-inch-thick half-rounds. (You will have about 3 cups of onions.)

Heat the butter and oil in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the onions, cayenne, salt, and pepper and sauté for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 more minutes, until the onions are browned and caramelized. Allow the onions to cool.

Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the onions and mix well. Taste for seasonings.

Serve at room temperature.

Dice an entire bag of onions. Sauté in oil. Once clear , allow to caramalize a bit and add, sweet paprika, drop of salt . Let cool. Once cooled completely , drain most of the oil out of the onions and stir in small amount of mayo into the onions.

It is delicious but it is dairy and I thought of that when I posted but then I figured it would be out there in case anyone could use dairy.

However you could substitute pareve sour cream. Is there a pareve cream cheese? Mayo is probably too sweet to sub completely for the sour cream and cream cheese which are a bit sour.

it's the go to onion dip in this house but lately I've been a bit lazy to make it.. there's seasons around here. Now it's a roasted pepper dip and a hot tomato dip most weeks and sometimes jalapeno.
