Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients - Start by gathering all your ingredients. Make sure you have everything on hand so the preparation goes smoothly.
Step 2: Combine the Base - In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of vegan yogurt or sour cream. If you prefer a creamier texture, include the optional 2 tablespoons of vegan mayo.
Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients - Sprinkle in the dried onion flakes, onion powder, salt, and garlic powder. These ingredients will provide the signature onion flavor that makes this dip so irresistible.
Step 4: Mix It Up - Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. You want a smooth and creamy texture.
Step 5: Fold in the Fresh Chives - Finally, add the chopped fresh chives and gently fold them into the mixture for a burst of freshness and color.
Step 6: Chill and Serve - For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve with your favorite dippers like veggies, chips, or crackers.
