This classic homemade vegan French onion dip is a deliciously creamy, tangy combination of homemade vegan sour cream, caramelized onions, and several seasonings. The result is a vegan onion dip worthy of chips, veggies, and even use as a condiment! No dairy, no MSG, and super simple to make in just three steps!
You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Heat oil in a pan and once hot add chopped onion. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then add a splash of water or vegetable broth. Keep cooking the onion for about 20 more minutes, adding more liquid if needed, until the onions are nicely caramelized.Note- The liquid will help to deglaze the pan and stop the onions from crisping up.
To a medium bowl, add vegan sour cream, caramelized onions, and all other ingredients. Stir to combine.
Taste it and adjust seasonings. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for some heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
Notes
Vegan sour cream: I used homemade vegan sour cream, however, you can use vegan cream cheese (e.g. Tofutti) instead, or a combination of vegan mayo and sour cream. A thick, creamy dairy-free yogurt might work, too.
Tamari: You can substitute the tamari for vegan Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, or coconut aminos.
White vinegar: Use apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, or even dill pickle water if you prefer.
You can serve the sour cream dip immediately, or allow it to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours first for a fantastic depth of flavor.
