For the dip base
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, refrigerated overnight
- ¼ cup coconut cream (skimmed from the top of the refrigerated can)
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder

Instructions
- 1
Refrigerate the can of full-fat coconut milk overnight (or for at least 8 hours) so the cream separates and rises to the top. When ready to begin, open the can without shaking it and spoon off 1/4 cup of the thick cream into a medium mixing bowl; set aside. Reserve the remaining coconut liquid for another use.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onions and 1/2 tsp salt, then stir to coat. Cook, stirring every 3–4 minutes, for 10 minutes until the onions have softened and begun to turn translucent.
