Heat oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic until it sizzles, then turn down very low and cook for 30-45 minutes until onions caramelize. After onions are golden and fragrant, set them aside to cool.

In a medium bowl, stir together mayo, sour cream, pepper, paprika, parsley, parmesan, and salt, add onions (once they are cool) and stir well to combine.

Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to combine.
