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.

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.
