Vegan Queso Dip

Summer is the perfect time to try new things, and we decided to take the challenge to the next level by finding a vegan way to celebrate National Dairy Month. GO VEGGIE is our go-to brand of vegan cheese, and we thought this would be a great opportunity to highlight some of the perks of subbing vegan cheese in. The great thing is that the health benefits and flavors are for everyone, even if you aren’t vegan!

We created a delicious vegan queso dip. It’s both dairy and gluten-free, and there are literally dozens of things you can pile nacho cheese sauce on which are delicious. In our recipe, we used GO VEGGIE's new Cheddar Shreds as a base and added scallions, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and fresh tomatoes to give it some bite, heat, and freshness. The best part is that you don’t have to sacrifice taste or the health benefits of dairy cheese!

The Cheddar Shreds are high in calcium and protein and are free of cholesterol, which is common in dairy cheese. Plus, it's lower in saturated fat, and calories! Chances are you wouldn’t think ‘nacho queso dip’ when trying to come up with a great, comforting vegan snack... but now you can, just in time for all your summer gatherings.

Enjoy!
