Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup dairy-free sour cream
- 0.5 cup dairy-free mayonnaise
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley

- 2 tablespoons chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they become caramelized, about 25-30 minutes. The onions should be golden brown and very soft.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the onions and cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar and cook for an additional minute, then remove the skillet from the heat and let the onions cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free sour cream and dairy-free mayonnaise. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the caramelized onion mixture to the bowl along with dried thyme, dried parsley, and onion powder. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the dairy-free onion dip with your favorite chips or fresh vegetables.
