Chase away these Halloween ghouls with this creamy, cheesy, garlicky chicken dip. The garlic cloves will mellow and soften considerably in the slow cooker or on the stove; leave the cloves whole for the best result. A hearty dip with crisp, fresh vegetables is ideal for Halloween entertaining—a satisfying bite on a night filled with sugary treats. Thin the leftover sauce with water or stock and fold into hot cooked pasta for dinner on another night.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1/3 cup canola mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
