How to Make Vegan Veggie Dip

Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups vegan mayo, 2 tsp dill weed, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, and 1 tsp salt. The mayo provides a smooth base that supports the depth of flavors you’re about to create.

Add Fresh Elements: Next, toss in 2 tbsp chopped parsley and 2 tsp lemon juice to the mix. These ingredients will elevate the dip with refreshing brightness and a herbal flair.

Adjust Consistency: Pour in 1/4 cup water to help blend the ingredients and adjust the thickness according to your preference. If you like your dip a bit thicker, start with less water and gradually add more until you reach your desired consistency.

Mix Well: Using a spatula or spoon, mix everything together until well combined. Aim for a smooth, creamy texture, ensuring all ingredients are fully integrated. You might want to taste it at this point and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

Serve It Up: Transfer your beautiful dip into a serving bowl, and it’s ready to go! Pair it with an array of colorful veggies such as carrot sticks, celery, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for a delightful snack.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover vegan veggie dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, transfer it to a freezer-safe container, and it’ll maintain quality for about three months. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw it overnight in the fridge and give it a good stir before serving, as the texture may change a bit after freezing.
