4 from 1 review

This creamy, tangy French Onion Dip is bursting with umami flavor, making it a perfect appetizer or snack. Made with cashew sour cream and caramelized onions, it pairs wonderfully with potato chips or fresh veggies. Easy to prepare if you have caramelized onions on hand; otherwise, allow extra time to make them from scratch.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes (excluding caramelizing onions preparation time)
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Cashew Sour Cream
  • 1/2 packed cup chopped Caramelized Onions, chilled or at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • Potato chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, stir together the cashew sour cream, chopped caramelized onions, onion powder, sea salt, and several grinds of freshly ground black pepper until well blended.
  2. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to chill thoroughly.
  3. Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the dip with chopped chives for a fresh, mild onion flavor and serve alongside your favorite potato chips or vegetables.

Notes

  • If you don't have caramelized onions ready, plan an additional 90 minutes to slowly caramelize onions on the stovetop and allow them to cool before using.
  • For a smoother dip, you can blend the mixture briefly in a food processor before chilling.
  • This dip is vegan and gluten-free when served with gluten-free chips or veggies.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper, depending on the saltiness of your cashew sour cream.
