Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup vegan sour cream
  • 3/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup scallions optional

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and kosher salt, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are light golden brown. Remove from heat and let them cool.
  • While the onions are cooling, combine the vegan sour cream, mayonnaise, vegan cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and cayenne in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
  • Once the onions have cooled, fold them into the creamy mixture. Stir until the onions are evenly distributed.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Garnish with sliced scallions and serve cold or room temperature.
