COOK’S NOTE
Nutritional Yeast Flakes: If you’re new to this ingredient, you can easily pick it up at your local health food store. Don’t confuse it with active dry or brewer’s yeast. This cheesy substitute is a great additional to your diet as it’s a complete protein with 18 amino acids. Just half a teaspoon also provides you with a day’s worth of B vitamins.
Earth Balance Buttery Spread: This is a great vegan substitute for butter in most recipes. You can find it in both heath food stores and grocery stores.
This recipe is so versatile! While the dip goes great with nacho-style chips, you can also use it as a cheese sauce with pastas for a fake mac and cheese recipe, cheese substitute on vegan tacos, or put it on crackers, potatoes or cooked veggies. Feel free to try it anywhere you would use cheese dip.
Instead of canned Rotel, if you want a more fresh take, try adding a handful of fresh cherry tomatoes and two fresh jalapenos (de-seeded) and blend them together for an extra kick.
