While cashews are soaking in hot water, heat up a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the onions in olive oil until they are golden and caramelized. Stir occasionally. If the onions start to stick to the pan, just add a tablespoon of water at a time if so and turn down the heat.
Drain the cashews and blend in a high-speed blender with the beans and ½ cup water. Blend until it is a smooth texture.
Add the lemon juice, apple cider vinegar vinegar, onion powder, paprika and ½ teaspoon salt. Then blend. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Turn the heat off of the caramelized onions. Save about 2 tablespoon onions and set aside for topping then
Then add the rest of the caramelized onions into the bowl of cashew mixture. Fold the onions into the mixture. Top with flakey sea salt before serving and top with parsley.
