4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled (about 2/3 cup)
1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1/2 cup reduced calorie mayonnaise
1/2 t. Worcestershire sauce
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Add:

Salt and cayenne to taste

Recipe



Caramelize onion in olive oil with sugar and salt in a heavy skillet over medium - low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching, but do not stir too often — they will brown better if left alone. After about 5 minutes of cooking, cover the pan (the lid keeps moisture inside so the onions won't burn as readily). Cook until brown and very soft, 20 - 25 min.

Stir in the port, scraping up any brown residue left on the bottom of the pan; cool onions slightly.


Blend cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, and lemon juice in a bowl.

Add cooled onions, herbs, salt, and cayenne to taste; stir to blend. Cover and chill dip for at least 2 hours before serving.


Serve with fried pita triangles, potato chips, or raw vegetables.
