Dips and Sauces

Vegetarian dips, sauces, and spreads for all of your snacking needs. These are great recipes to have on hand to add to meals or have in the fridge for later.

For plant-based basics, try Coconut Whipped Cream, Vegan Chocolate Ganache, and easy homemade Coconut Butter.

If savoury is more your thing, go for a Dairy Free Tahini Pesto, ultra simple Avocado Aioli, or a slightly sweet Strawberry Vinaigrette.

For fans of preserves and homemade staples, take a look at Honey Lemon Curd, homemade allergy-friendly Sunflower Seed Butter, and (crab) Apple Butter.
