Holiday French Onion Dip with Crudités…

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dairy free sour cream (try WayFare Vegan Sour Cream or Kite Hill Sour Cream Alternative)
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh chives
  • A sprinkle of paprika for garnish
  • Crudités (see above list for suggestions)

Instructions

  1. To prepare caramelized onions, thinly slice one medium sized yellow onion. Sauté in 1 TBSP organic avocado oil over medium heat until the onions caramelize. This will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Once they reach a deep, rich golden color, remove from heat and cool. When cooled, chop into smaller bits for the dip.
  2. Combine the dairy free sour cream, caramelized onions, onion powder, salt and pepper. Place in a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh chives and a sprinkle of paprika.
  3. Serve along with a platter of prepared crudités; enjoy!
