Instructions

  1. Prepare 1 recipe of [url href=”http://staging.naderboraie.com/2014/05/the-best-vegan-cheese-cashew-free/” target=”_blank”]The Best Vegan [Eggplant] Cheese[/url]. Recommended to do ahead of time so it will thicken up.

Broccoli Guacamole

  1. Steam the broccoli, cauliflower and garlic clove until the vegetables are easily broken with a fork.
  2. Place all ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender, and run until smooth and creamy.

Oil-free Refried Beans

  1. Place the tomatoes onto a pan over medium heat, and cook until juices are released and there is a slight sizzle. Add in the garlic and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant.
  2. Add in the remaining ingredients, and mix until uniform and warmed through. Once warm, turn the heat to low
  3. Begin mashing the beans with a fork or potato masher until it is at the consistency of your liking. I left mine a little chunky.

Strawberry Salsa

  1. Simply add all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined.

Dehydrated kale*

  1. Place raw kale into a dehydrator at 115 F for 6-8 hours, depending on the size of the pieces, and you’ve got yourself a crispy and delicious treat.

Dehydrated zucchini

  1. Slice large zucchini at an angle into thin slices, preferably with a mandolin to ensure equal drying time. Place into a dehydrator at 115 F for 8-10 hours, or until crispy.

Jicama*

  1. Simply peel and slice a raw jicama, in any shape and size you choose!
  2. I decided to try and make these as ‘tortilla chip-like’ as possible, so I cup them into triangles.

Notes

The kale and zucchini do crumble a bit, so instead of dunking them into the dip, I plopped a scoop of dip on top with a spoon.
Jicama is the most sturdy out of the two, so if you decided to really dig into the dip, this is your chip.
Kale: I left mine plane so that it wouldn’t mask the flavors of the dip, but feel free to spice it up and try different variations! I love curly kale as it is sweeter than lacinato and more palatable raw.
