quick vegan queso - so simple and tasty!
With the Super Bowl coming up, I had to come up with a delicious and easy cheese dip that everyone could enjoy. Vegans and meat eaters both enjoy this chunky vegan queso dip because it's just delicious. It's got a little umami flavor, a lot of smoky notes, and most importantly - a nice cheesy flavor without all of the guilt.
Not to mention, this dip comes together in literally five minutes. Spoiler alert - I used PB2 Cashew Powder! Therefore, no long soaking of cashews needed and no need to melt or cook anything. Simply add all of the ingredients to a blender... and well, blend.
what is vegan queso made of?
This chunky vegan queso is made of PB2 cashew powder, nutritional yeast, cayenne pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, water, soy sauce, and rotel.
You can use mild, original, or the hot versions of rotel as per your liking to jazz things up a bit! But these few ingredients make a stellar vegan queso.
What I love about this queso is that you can personalize it to your liking - whether that be adding hot sauce, adding more pepper or less garlic - you can really have fun with it and make it your own!
is vegan queso healthy?
Very much so! This chunky vegan queso is full of spices and fresh garlic, cashew powder, and a little soy sauce and nutritional yeast. It's not just full of flavor, but also protein and minerals and vitamins from the nutritional yeast.
This chunky vegan queso is especially good for those who are looking for a dip that they can indulge in without the guilt! Also, if you're gluten free, you can swap out soy sauce for tamari sauce!
