Non-dairy vegetable dip?

Question

I have eating restrictions and can't have any dairy (milk, yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese, any type of cheese, etc). This is something that recently developed, so I am used to eating my raw veggies with ranch dip, but can no longer do so. Now I'm finding it difficult to eat fresh veggies because I don't care for the taste of them plain. Any recipes for a veggie dip that does not include dairy would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Refried Beans with Salsa

Answer 2

Hummus

Answer 3

wholefoods.com has a lot of dairy free recipes.

Answer 4

i'm curious to see your answers as i've become more and more sensitive to dairy... but as for alternatives, have you tried hummus? they make a tonnnn of varieties and it's really good. i didn't like it at first (could just be the flavor i tried) but it's really grown on me.  or try dipping them in some light italian dressing. it'll give it a very light flavor just to make them easier to eat!

Answer 5

Off hand, I can think of:

tartar sauce

olive puree

aoli

tomato salsa

marinara sauce

"Italian" dressing or a vinaigrette

guacamole without sour cream

and last but not least, a bit of salt and pepper with lime juice

Answer 6

You dip veggies in hummus (a fabulous dip made from chickpeas, tahini paste, lemon juice, and some seasonings) or salsa.  Or you can look for Tofutti Sour Cream or Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese and use it where a recipe calls for sour cream/cream cheese.

Many vegan cookbooks have salad dressing recipes.  Find a creamy one and use that.  I think there are vegan ranch recipes out there.
