Dairy-Free Creamy Mexican Dip

With the approach of May is Cinco de Mayo and this dairy-free creamy Mexican dip is a great way to celebrate! It’s healthy, spicy and festive!

I enjoyed eating this dip with veggie slices, plantain chips, and mixed into a taco bowl too. There is no dairy in the dip, but the creamy aspect comes from pureed white sweet potato, olive oil and avocado. It’s wonderful served warm, room temperature or cold. This recipe yields a lot too!

Also, I’ll be making this dip on KATU Afternoon Live next Wednesday, May 3rd. Watch the replay of my segment HERE!

Cheers and enjoy!
