Ingredients for Vegan French Onion Dip
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vegan butter
- 2 cups Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 cup vegan sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/2 teaspoon steak sauce (A1 is vegan!)
- 1/4 + 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
How to Make This Easy Vegan French Onion Dip
STEP ONE: Into a large skillet over low heat, add the oil and butter. When the butter is melted, add the onions.
STEP TWO: Saute the onions for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.
STEP THREE: Add the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
STEP FOUR: Continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions and shallots are darker brown in color.
STEP FIVE: Transfer the cooked onions and shallots to a cutting board. Roughly chop into 1/4-inch pieces. Set aside to cool.
STEP SIX: In a medium bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, celery salt, steak sauce, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
STEP SEVEN: Fold the onion mixture into the mayonnaise mixture.
STEP EIGHT: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve cold.
Quick Tips For Success
- Make sure your onions are evenly sliced. I like to use a mandoline to ensure all the slices are uniform in thickness. This avoids undercooking the larger pieces or burning the thinner ones.
- Don’t rush the caramelization process! Trust me when I tell you that your patience with this critical step will be rewarded with perfectly sweet and caramelized onions.
What To Serve With French Onion Dip
- Potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels, crackers
- Fresh veggies – carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers
