Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Vegan mayonnaise
- 1.25 cups Vegan sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the yellow onions.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until they are caramelized and golden brown. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and allow the onion-garlic mixture to cool to room temperature.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, vegan sour cream, nutritional yeast, soy sauce (or tamari), apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Fold the cooled onion-garlic mixture into the creamy base, mixing thoroughly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tang, if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.
Serve with your favorite chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers!
