Peel and finely dice the yellow onion into small, even pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the diced onions and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Adjust the heat to low if they start to brown too quickly.
Once caramelized, remove the onions from the heat and allow them to cool to room temperature.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the non-dairy sour cream, non-dairy cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and the cooled caramelized onions.
Mix well until all ingredients are smooth and evenly combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately with chips, crackers, or veggie sticks, or refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavors to meld together.
