Frequently asked

Can I use regular sour cream?+

Yes — one cup replaces the cashew version and the dip is no longer dairy-free but equally good.

How do I caramelize the onions?+

Low heat, a little olive oil, 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally — patience is the only ingredient.

Can I skip the chill?+

It will taste fine but less unified; even 20 minutes helps a lot.
