This Easy Creamy Vegan Veggie Dip is the perfect dip to pair with vegetables or to use as a sandwich spread. Whether you're bringing a vegetable platter to a party or trying to get you family to eat more veggies, this veggie dip is the perfect one to make.
It's rich and creamy and goes with almost any vegetable. The secret ingredient is horseradish which gives it a zesty flavor.
Veggie Dip Ingredients
The main ingredients are vegan mayo and sour cream. Because of the horseradish, you can't really taste the mayo or the sour cream so it's the creamy texture that's important.
- Vegan mayo - My favorite vegan mayo brand is Hellmann's.
- Vegan sour cream - I like Tofutti the best. It works well in this dairy-free dip.
- Horseradish
- Lemon juice
- Garlic
- Salt and pepper
Making the Dip
This is such an easy veggie dip recipe to make. It takes 5 minutes to put together and uses only 1 bowl. But I recommend making this dip the day before you want to serve it for best flavor.
To make it, mix together the vegan mayo, vegan sour cream, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper. And that's it!
The Secret Ingredient - Horseradish
The horseradish is what really makes this dip. But what is horseradish? It's a spicy root vegetable. Not surprisingly, it's part of the mustard family and also related to wasabi. You can find ground horseradish in a jar from the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
A little bit goes a long way. But what to do with the rest of the jar? Read below for recipes that use horseradish.
Storage
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This tastes best after several hours in the fridge.
Best Vegetables to Dip
Pretty much any vegetable works with this so chop up your favorites to serve with this creamy dip. The following are my favorite raw veggies to eat with it:
- baby carrots
- celery sticks
- red peppers
- orange or yellow bell peppers
- cucumber slices
- broccoli florets
- cauliflower florets
- snow peas
- cherry tomatoes
FAQ
Can I freeze this dip?
I do not recommend freezing this recipe. When thawed the texture would get weird.
Other than dipping veggies in, what else can I do with this dip?
I love using it on a sandwich or even on top of a vegan burger. It's delicious on anything.
Summary
My family is a huge fan of this dip! It's a great way to get the kids to try different raw vegetables. It's great to bring with a tray of veggies to a get together. Or use it as a sandwich spread. The best part - no one will be able to tell it's vegan!
