Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 cup dairy-free sour cream
• 0.5 cup dairy-free mayonnaise
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme

• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the onions and cook for another 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free sour cream and dairy-free mayonnaise. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Add the caramelized onion mixture to the bowl along with dried thyme, dried parsley, and onion powder. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired.

Step 8

Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve the dairy-free onion dip with your favorite chips or fresh vegetables.
