How to Make Vegan French Onion Dip

Although I’m not a vegan, I am lactose intolerant so vegan foods are my friend. As a kid, one of my favorite things was sour cream and onion dip. Once I became lactose intolerant, I thought that it would be gone from my life forever. Then, I discovered a vegan version which restored my faith in the food gods.

This dip doesn’t discriminate and is great with chips, veggies, or just about anything you can use to scoop it up with.

    Heat the vegetable broth over medium heat. Add the onions and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes until soft. Make sure the onions don’t stick by adding extra water or vegetable broth as needed.

    Draine and rinse the cashews. In a food processor, combine cashews with vinegar, lemon juice, dill, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and 1/4 cup of the almond milk. Blend until stiff.

    After the onions are done cooking, add them to the food processor along with the remaining 1/2 cup of almond milk. Mix until smooth. Add more milk if needed.

    Cool in the refrigerator, and add some sliced scallions for a little crunch. Serve with chips, veggies or pita.

Andrea loves food despite having a million and one allergies and can be found watching Food Network, adding poached eggs to everything, or looking for the next best brunch place. Sometimes she just wants food ordered off a menu (because who doesn't love options) and is a firm believer that everything is better with a glass of wine.
