Deeply caramelized onions, slow-cooked until jammy and golden, get folded into a blended cashew base that's whipped completely smooth with lemon juice and a splash of apple cider vinegar for tang. The result is a thick, creamy dip with real depth of flavor — savory, a little sweet from the onions, and rich without any heaviness. A chill in the fridge lets everything meld before you top it with the reserved onions and a scatter of fresh chives. It's the kind of make-ahead party dip that disappears fast alongside chips or crudités, and it fits neatly into a dairy free spread.

Place the cashews in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for at least 1 hour, then drain and rinse thoroughly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and 1/2 tsp salt, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring every 3–4 minutes, for 35–40 minutes until the onions are deep golden brown and jammy throughout — reduce the heat to medium-low if they begin to darken too quickly at the edges.
