Vegan Buffalo Dip
Spicy and satisfying…
without a drop of dairy.
Yield: 2 cups
= 16 oz = 455 mL
Ingredients
145 g (5 oz) raw almonds
110 mL (~4 oz) water
2 Tb nutritional yeast, divided
3 medium cloves garlic
110 mL (~4 oz) Frank’s RedHot
110 mL (~4 oz) sunflower oil
1 Tb lemon juice
0.5 tsp salt
Protocol
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Roast the almonds for 8 mins (until slightly darkened, as in picture above), then allow to cool a bit.
Add roasted almonds to the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until coarsely chopped.
With the processor running, add the water. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and process until a rough paste forms.
Add garlic and 1 Tb nutritional yeast to the bowl.
Turn the motor back on, and add about 3/4ths of the sunflower oil (~3oz) and 3/4ths of the Frank’s RedHot (~3oz). Process until mostly smooth.
Add the rest of the nutritional yeast, sunflower oil, and hot sauce. Process until smooth.
Briefly pulse in the lemon juice and salt.
Serve with crunchy veggies, crackers, or pretzels, and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley!
