Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the yellow onions.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and allow the onion-garlic mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Fold the cooled onion-garlic mixture into the creamy base, mixing thoroughly.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or a splash of vinegar for extra tang, if desired.

Step 10

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using.

Step 11

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving.

Step 12

Serve with your favorite chips, vegetable sticks, or crackers!
