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

    I could eat this entire french onion dip to myself with a big bag of chips! I love how easy it is to make and even better that it’s completely plant based. I’ll be serving this for game day or any get together!
