Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip
This dairy-free Caramelized Onion Dip is a vegan take on Barefoot Contessa’s pan-fried onion dip. It’s a major favorite in my house and a party pleaser wherever I bring it.
It’s perfect served alongside crinkled potato chips (or dolloped on top of veggie burgers). The secret to this dips is the carmelization of the onions. Don’t skimp on the time it takes to get these just right (about 30 minutes)!
I also insist on Vegenaise for the mayo, Tofutti for the sour cream and Kite Hill for the cream cheese in this recipe.
