    Dairy-Free Nacho Dip

    Warm. Nacho. Dip. Yes!

    Score big this Super Bowl (or any day) with this crowd-pleasing (and super healthy) nacho dip.  No one will know it is entirely vegan and filled with one cup of veggies and 1 cup of tahini.  Many vegan cheese dips contain cashews, but this one is nut-free and features tahini as the creamy base for this ultra cheesy-like dip.

    What are you waiting for?  Grab a chip.

        I'm so sorry to hear that. I do have a nacho cheese recipe on the blog that is not made with tahini: https://www.eatingbyelaine.com/vegan-queso/ - I hope you get a chance to try it out. Please let me know if you do! Best, Elaine
