Caramelized Onion Dip (Dairy-Free)
Cooking the onions low and slow for a full 40-45 minutes, not rushing them on high heat, is what develops real caramelized sweetness instead of just browned, sharp-tasting onions.

Ingredients
- 3 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup dairy-free sour cream
- 1/4 cup dairy-free mayo
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (check label GF)
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the sliced onions, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 40-45 minutes until deeply golden brown and jammy — this slow, patient cooking is what develops real caramelized sweetness; onions rushed on high heat just brown and turn sharp-tasting instead of sweet.
- 2
Let the caramelized onions cool completely.
- 3
Roughly chop the cooled onions, then mix with dairy-free sour cream, dairy-free mayo, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- 4
Chill at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
- 5
Serve with vegetable sticks or gluten-free chips.
