Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews could sub raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened plant milk I use TJ's soy milk
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 package French onion dip mix I use the brand Simply Organic
  • 1 tsp Trader Joe's Onion Salt (optional)

Equipment

  • Blender

Method
 

  1. 1. In a high powered blender such as a Vitamix add in the cashews, soy milk and lemon juice. Blend for a couple minutes until completely smooth. If it gets too thick splash in more milk to get it to blend better.
  2. 2. Pour blender contents into a mixing bowl. Stir in the French onion dip packet seasoning and additional onion salt if using. Place in fridge and let chill for one hour before serving.
  3. 3. Pour dip into serving bowl. Serve with ridged potato chips, cucumber slices, and/or carrot slices.

Notes

If not using a high powered blender, soak cashews overnight in water or for a couple hours to soften them. A Nutribullet or food processor will also work. You can also sub raw sunflower seeds for cashews. 
To make your own French Onion Dip seasoning, mix together the following ingredients: 1 tbsp dried onion flakes, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt
