Is There A Vegan French Onion Dip?

Yes, this one! And, the flavor is spot on. It’s also healthy too. How? Very simple. First, stay away from vegan store-bought brands. They’re usually very processed and contain loads of oil.

I used my Cashew Sour Cream. It’s rich, tangy, and super creamy. And, if you are worried about the fat content from the cashews simply use my Easy Vegan Tofu Sour Cream made with silken tofu.

How To Make Vegan French Onion Dip

This crowd-pleasing Vegan French Onion Dip is so easy to make and perfect for any family get-together, holiday gathering, or just simply snacking.

It’s made with simple, healthy, and wholesome ingredients. And, best of all, there’s no cooking involved.

All you need for this recipe are raw cashews, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, water, and a little salt. Then, you throw the ingredients into a blender and blend.
  2. Mix All The Ingredients: Add the remaining ingredients, except for the salt, to the cashew sour cream and stir until everything is well combined. Once everything is mixed then taste and then season with salt if need.

There you have it my lovelies, the best Vegan French Onion Dip! Easy, healthy, creamy, better than store-bought, and insanely delicious.

Garnish with some fresh chives and you’re ready to serve this masterpiece.

The most obvious and popular way to serve this vegan French onion dip is with potato chips. So, make a bunch of my fat-free potato chips or homemade healthy tortilla chips to surround this dip.

  • sliced bell pepper
  • cucumber
  • radishes
  • carrots

Tips & FAQ’s

How To Store Leftovers?

Cover and place in the fridge and it’s good for up to 7 days. That’s why this dip is great for making a day or so in advance. It’s a simple and healthy snack to always have on hand for the kiddos as well.

Are there any substitutions I should try?

My vegan mayo or cashew cream cheese is great for this delicious dip. And, try adding some caramelized onions to the final product. Simple preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add some sliced onions, and cook until they’re done. Adding a little bit of vegetable broth will help the caramelization.

What is VegetarianWorcestershire?

MostWorcestershiresauces contain anchovies and are not vegan. So, make sure you get a vegetarian brand. If you don’t have it you can sub low-sodiumsoy sauce,Tamari, orBragg’s Liquid Aminos. You can also omit if you wish.

Can I Freeze Vegan French Onion Dip?

Probably. But, it’s highly unlikely you will have any leftovers. And, I don’t really know why you would freeze it because it’s so easy and fast to make.

How Do I Make It Low Fat?

Use myEasy Vegan Sour Creammade with silken tofu in place of the cashew sour cream.
