Make Ahead: If you haven't done so already, make a batch of the cashew cream sauce according to recipe instructions. This provides the creamy base for this dip.
Preheat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and saute for 6 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. If the onion starts to stick, add a tablespoon or two of water to release.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the dry seasonings—garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
Turn off the heat, give it a stir, and add in the coconut aminos. Stir to combine and remove from the heat to sit for 5 minutes.
Add the caramelized onions to the cashew sour cream. Give it a good stir.
Add the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Taste the dip and season with salt and more black pepper as desired.
Transfer your vegan French onion dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate to chill before serving. As it sits, this dip will thicken, and flavors will meld together.

Leftovers keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a good stir before serving. Freezing is not recommended.
Enjoy as a dip with our air fryer smashed potatoes or savory air fryer banana chips. You can also use it as a spread on our vegan tempeh BLT and hearty breakfast burrito.
