Roasted Cauliflower Dip
I love finger foods. Set me out a bowl of dip, crackers and veggies and I have a hard time stopping myself from eating the whole thing. This Roasted Cauliflower Dip was no different.
Here’s a little spoiler alert for you all, but I have been reviewing a Vitamix for the past few weeks (review and giveaway to come Sunday night). It came with a cook book called Personal Blending: Your Signature Whole-Food Meals in Minutes. There are a few recipes that I have been intrigued with but I knew that the Roasted Cauliflower Dip was a must try. In fact, other than smoothies and shakes, it was the first “food” recipe I have tried in the Vitamix.
The only actual “cooking” involved with this recipe was roasting the cauliflower. Have I mentioned just how much I love cauliflower? It’s so versatile and works for anything: a substitute for pizza crust, mashed potatoes, a great side dish or (in this case) a delicious dip.
After the cauliflower was cooled, all I had to do was toss it in the Vitamix and blend. It took roughly a minute to put together.
One whole minute until I was in flavor town (I may have ripped that off of Guy).
I served it with some crackers that were 2 for $5 at the grocery store I carefully selected but I think this would be perfect with some carrots, broccoli and red pepper strips.
This recipe was good as it is, but I have to tell you it has inspired me. I already have a few ideas on how I can make this dip even better (it may involve cheese).

Love cauliflower dips. Delish
Any idea if there’s a non-dairy alternative for the greek yogurt? Would coconut cream work? Hate being dairy sensitive 🙁
Hmm…good question. You know I don’t think I have ever made a dip that wasn’t dairy based. Try it with coconut cream and see what happens 🙂 Let me know!
I would make protein shakes 🙂
That dip looks yummy. One of my fave dips is a veggie dip I have made for years.
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it out on my Christmas dinner guests!
Oh!! This sounds and looks divine!! Adding to my list of things to try!
This looks delicious- a nice alternative to the usual veggie dips! Can’t wait to try it!
