    Easy Creamy Vegan Veggie Dip

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    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.

    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! Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

    Best Vegan Brands to Use

    There are several brands of vegan mayo and sour cream out there. My favorite vegan mayo brand is Hellmann's. As for sour cream, I like Tofutti the best. It works well in this dairy-free dip. You can't really taste the mayo or the sour cream so it's the creamy texture that's important.

    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.

    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

      We love this dip! I’ve been eating it with bell peppers and my husband has been using it as a sandwich spread. My kids have been eating their veggies with it too.
