Whipped Cottage Cheese French Onion Dip

We swap out sour cream for whipped cottage cheese in this light and airy French onion dip. We call for vegan Worcestershire sauce to keep the dip vegetarian; you can use regular Worcestershire (which usually contains anchovies) if you like. Serve with chips, fresh veggies or as a sandwich spread.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or other neutral oil

  • 3 cups chopped sweet onions

  • 1 16-ounce container full-fat cottage cheese

  • 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to keep the onions from burning. Transfer the onions to a medium bowl; let cool until closer to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, place cottage cheese in a food processor and process on High until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add Worcestershire, garlic powder, vinegar, onion powder and pepper; pulse until well blended. Add to the onions; stir until the onions are incorporated. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for 1 hour and serve chilled.
