Vegan French Onion Dip
Report
Perfect for game day, this from-scratch vegan french onion dip is just as good as the one we've all had at parties over the years. It’s usually made with sour cream and boxed onion soup mix, but we’re using the healthy power of cashews for an extra creamy texutre.

Ingredients
- 1 cup of raw cashews soaked overnight
- 1 ½ cups of yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of oil medium-high heat
- 1 ½ teaspoons of salt (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
- ⅓ cup of water
- 1 Tablespoon of apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)

Instructions
- Place raw cashews in a bowl and cover with water by about 2-3 inches. Place in refrigerator and let soak overnight. If short on time, simply cover cashews with boiling water and let them soak as long as possible. The ideal soak time is 8 hours, the minimum is 2 hours.
- Drain cashews and rinse in a colander. Set aside.
- In a skillet, saute finely chopped onion in 1 teaspoon of medium heat oil. Cook on low heat, covered for 15 minutes, then remove the cover and cook an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients and process for 3 to 4 minutes on high until rich and creamy. Add more water and scrape down the sides as needed. Ideally, chill for 1 to 2 hours before serving (but you can eat it immediately as well).

Notes
- Adjust the seasonings. Feel free to tweak the salt, sweetener, and vinegar as you see fit. You can even double the onion amount if you're an onion fan like I am.
- No time to chill? It’s ok - you can serve it immediately but the flavors do meld together more over time.
- Forget to soak the cashews? You can use a quick method and pour hot water over them. Let them sit as long as possible but 1-2 hours minimum is required. The recipe will still work, you may just lose a little creaminess.
