Dip ideas?

[leighi123]

I need some dip ideas!
We are vegetarian and ds is allergic to dairy. He is also allergic to vinegar (which elminates A LOT of stuff like ketchup, mustard, mayo, salad dressings)

He loves to dip everything, but there is not much he can have.

Here is my list:
hummus (various kinds)
pumpkin butter
my handmade ketchup

Anything else?

[Sayward]

baba ganoush
tahini dressing
spicy black bean dip
guacamole
soy sauce + wasabi (great on all sorts of stuff, like raw veggies, etc)
white bean dip with Mediterranean herbs
creamy sauce made with nutritional yeast
olive tapenade
sun-dried tomato tapenade
non-dairy creamy artichoke dip (with coconut milk maybe)

All of these can easily be made at home and thus free of your allergens. I'm a big raw veggie eater, so I love me some dips!

Please share how to make creamy sauce with N.Y.

I have been really enjoying mung bean puree seasoned up. It is also great with some warm homemade bread.

Creamy Nooch Sauce - (this is what I use for mac 'n cheese so it makes a ton, but it stores well and it's great on EVERYTHING, like steamed veggies, pasta, artichokes, baked potatoes, etc)

small-medium white onion

1 tablespoon cooking oil

1 tablespoon cooking wine (I used dry vermouth)

2 medium Yukon gold taters, chopped and boiled

1/2 cup Earthbalance™

1/2 cup raw cashews
1 can coconut milk
 (full fat is best)
1 teaspoon miso

2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to your taste level

1 cup nutritional yeast

dollop of Dijon mustard

Dice onion and saute in oil, adding cooking wine after it begins to caramelize. Cook down until very soft but do not burn!

Chop and boil taters until soft.

Place onions, taters, and everything else in a food processor and blend until creamy.

Pour over EVERYTHING!

I like curried red lentil dip, and any kind of bean dips. I prefer a tuscan white bean dip to hummus.

Curried red lentil dip is my fav....I've posted it a couple times here i'd have to find the recipe but basically you saute apple, raisins, onions, spices red lentils and puree

[nomadmom]

salsa (home-made to avoid vinegar)
pesto

[JessicaS]

I make a black bean salsa

Black beans
Corn
cilantro
red onions
bell peppers
I add vinegar to it but you could do homemade salsa

Thank you for the great ideas!

So far, ds is loving bean dip (we made a few different kinds). I've been trying to get him more protein and he likes beans, so that was a good one!

I still need to try some of the others... .


Sayward - can that one be made with a different kind of nut? Im allergic to cashews. (if not, I'll make it anyway b/c ds could still eat it!)

Sure! I'd go for macadamias for something equally light and creamy. =)

Awsome - I love macadamias! I'll just have to leave out the mustard for ds (b/c of the vinegar), but it sounds yummy!
