This year, the plant-based company Good Karma released a line of dairy-free dips that are making their way into healthy homes nationwide. Seeing a healthy French onion dip definitely stopped me in my tracks. This version is upgraded from the typical sour cream version with a coconut oil base that’s contains just 30 calories and 1 gram of sugar per serving. Not too shabby.

You can also make your own dip at home in minutes that’s just as good paired with carrots and celery as it is veggie chips. Ashley Page, the plant-based chef behind Happy Plates, shared her own French onion dip recipe on Instagram that will finally make you devour all the chopped produce in your fridge. It’s easy, too. After soaking some cashews overnight (or giving them a quick 15-minute boil), all you need to do is blend them up with a handful of ingredients, including apple cider vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix in caramelized onions and let it chill in the fridge before it’s ready to eat.

I don’t want to say French onion dip has changed my life or anything, but ever since it found its way back to me, my veggie consumption has increased dramatically. Coincidence? I think not.
