Caramelized Onion Hummus
This caramelized onion hummus is a delicious accompaniment to veggies or chips, and is also delicious spread on sandwiches or thinned out for a flavorful dressing! The flavor reminds me of the onion dip I grew up enjoying with chips, but it is dairy free, vegan and made with much healthier ingredients!

Instructions
Instructions:
- In a non-stick ceramic pan, combine the onions, garlic, and avocado oil over medium heat. Cook over medium heat, stirring every few minutes until the onions and garlic are caramelized and nice and golden brown (about 15 minutes). If at any time they stick a little to the pan, just add a couple of Tbsp filtered water. Once they are caramelized remove from heat.
- Combine the onions, and all other ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth (adding a little more water if necessary). Keeps in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in a sealed container.
