In a small saute pan add the olive oil, chopped onion and minced garlic.

Saute over medium heat until the onions have caramelized.

In a small mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, sea salt and caramelized onions.

Mix well.

Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld (although it's pretty fantastic when freshly made too!)

Store leftovers (if there are any) in a covered container in the refrigerator.
