Dairy-Free French Onion Dip is a delightful creamy classic retro dip with a mild flavor of onion. This nostalgic dip is made with caramelized onions, canned coconut milk, and homemade mayo. A scrumptious and delicious party dip. Perfect for tailgating or the Super Bowl. Consequently, this is a small batch of dip. Needless to say, there are several restaurants around town that allow me to bring in my own dressings and toppings.
Dairy-Free French Onion Dip
Indeed, it used to be very popular. I guess it is vintage now. In fact, most people nowadays make it from the Lipton Onion Soup mix. Believe it or not, this recipe was very popular in the ’70s and ’80s. Nevertheless, it was a favorite of mine. Therefore, I wanted to create a similar recipe. In any case, I came up with this recipe for crackers, vegetables, and chips. This dip is “hydrogenated fat-free” and preservative-free. Often I place it on a baked sweet potato or baked potato. What a decadent treat that is. Needless to say, this makes approximately 1/2 a cup of dip. Perfect to use as an appetizer for a small dinner party say for 4 people. However, if you need more just double or triple.
It makes the perfect amount to bring with you when you eat out. Without a doubt, there is even enough to share. It is a perfect amount for two people.
Hence, I use Lano Life Beef Broth for this recipe. At any rate, I researched to find a powdered bone broth that I could use. I purchased it off of Amazon. It is currently unavailable through Amazon.

I cannot wait to try this for a football Sunday appetizer.
Angela, yes a great tailgating or party dip. Enjoy!
This looks amazing! It’d be the perfect appetizer for the upcoming holiday season!
Ai, it does make a great appetizer.
I love onion dips so this is right up my alley! I’d totally enjoy this with carrot sticks 🙂
Nart, so good on carrot stick and celery.
The ingredients all combined must be so good to taste .Lovely share!
A great dip for sure. Have a wonderful day!
Love the sound of this French onion dip. I can imagine how delicious it is in a baked potato as you mentioned!
I wasn’t aware that coconut milk could be used to make sour cream. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for saying this. I have a coconut milk recipe. But, for whatever reason my link is not working. I am working on fixing it. Thanks for pointing it out. It is yummy.
Oh, boy, I sure remember using Lipton’s onion soup to make a dip. It was pretty tasty but I cringe to think It didn’t even occur to me to wonder if it was healthy. I’m not finding coconut milk sour cream so plan to make this with coconut yogurt.
Beth, me too. I appreciate telling me about the sour cream as I have a recipe that is malfunctioning. Should be on my blog shortly. However, coconut yogurt is the perfect substitute. Have a wonderful weekend.
Can this be made vegetarian without the beef broth?
Why yes, you could use vegetable broth. Thank you for asking.
