High-Protein Vegan French Onion Dip

This vegan French onion dip is light, creamy and, most importantly, tastes like onions. Onion’s are probably my favorite vegetable ever- I’ve actually written a (at this point) unpublished essay detailing my love of onions through history, science, health, and cooking. I wrote it for fun, that’s how much I love onions. When I was younger and on vacation, we would always get a package of French onion dip to have around as a snack, and I loved it! In reality, I think that dip was sour cream mixed with onion powder and salt, but I thought it was the best thing ever. I’ve been wanting to snack a lot more than usual lately, so I decided to try and replicate that childhood nostalgia into a healthier, vegan version.

Making this High-Protein Vegan Dip

This high protein dip is made from a base of silken tofu, which unlike sour cream is very low in fat and quite high in protein. But health alone has never been enough to make me eat something- it also needs to be delicious. The reason this vegan French onion dip tastes so good is the 2 1/2 onions that have been packed in there, cooked down slightly, which lead to a deep, rich, real onion flavor that onion powder could never capture. After your onions are cooked, making the dip is easy (as all dips should be)- simply use a food processor to combine all the ingredients and taste to adjust the flavors to your preference.
