Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions, salt, and sugar to the skillet.
Cook the onions for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply caramelized and golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Once the onions have cooled, chop them finely and fold them into the mixture.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mix it into the dip, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Cover and refrigerate the onion dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Garnish with the reserved parsley before serving. Enjoy with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
