Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
For the Healthy Baked Onion Rings:
Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish combine quinoa flour, arrowroot powder, paprika, cayenne and salt. Whisk together buttermilk and eggs in a separate shallow dish.
Place quinoa and quinoa flakes in a blender and pulse until crumbly. Place in a shallow dish.
Dredge onion rings into the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture. Drain excess batter and dredge into the quinoa mixture.
Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Spray WELL with olive oil. Cook until golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the onion rings over about half way through and re-spraying. Serve with dipping sauce.
Notes
To make a dairy free buttermilk, Combine unsweetened milk of choice with 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice. Allow to sit for 10 minutes and proceed with the recipe.
