Creamy Caramelized Onion, Canadian Blue Cheese and Spinach Dip
This is an amazing appetizer and very decadent. Serve with hand made style potato chips, Kettle Potato Chips or Lavash Flax Seed Crackers that are sturdy enough to scoop up the mixture without crumbling. Creamy dreamy Blue cheese makes it yummy any way you dunk!
