Instructions

Heat a large saucepan set over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.
Add ½ cup water, cover the pan and cook until the onions are golden brown, about 15 minutes.
Remove ½ cup of the caramelized onions to a cutting board and chop. Let the chopped onions cool. Reserve the remaining onions for another use.
Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl and whip with a hand-mixer until fluffy, about 20 seconds.
Stir in the caramelized onions, chives and salt. Serve or store, covered, in the refrigerator.
