Ingredients
For the Dip:
- 2 medium yellow onions, chopped or thinly sliced Or 4 large shallots.
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon white balsamic or apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided
- 2 cups cashew sour cream (recipe below) or store-bought vegan sour cream see Notes for tofu sour cream option
Optional Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
- 1 tablespoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning, lightly toasted See Notes for making your own
Homemade Cashew Sour Cream:
- 1 ⅓ cups raw cashews If using a high speed blender, no need to soak. Otherwise, soak cashews in hot water for an hour, then drain.
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
Make the sour cream:
- Skip to the next step if using store-bought sour cream. In a high speed blender combine the cashews, water, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic powder and salt. Blend on high until completely smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Caramelize the onion and make the dip:
- Preheat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and ¼ cup broth, and stir to coat. Once the broth has evaporated, let the onion cook undisturbed for about 20 seconds, then add another 3 or 4 tablespoons of broth, stir, and repeat the process until the onions are tender and golden brown and most of the broth has been used. Reduce heat if necessary so the shallots don't brown too quickly. The entire caramelization process should take about 30 minutes.
- Once the onions are tender and pale golden brown, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tablespoon of vinegar, and stir to deglaze the pan. Transfer the mixture to a plate to cool.
- Stir the cooled onions and 2 tablespoons of chopped chives into 2 cups of sour cream. For the best flavor, refrigerate the dip for at least a few hours to overnight. Before serving garnish with toasted Everything Bagel seasoning, chives, and parsley, if desired.

- The dip can be made a day or two in advance and tastes best that way! Garnish just before serving.
