Dill Dip

*Casie Here*
One of our good friends gave me a recipe for Vegan Dill Dip for veggies and such. I tweaked it a bit and here is the final recipe for you!
 One full container of Non-Dairy PLAIN yogurt (I used Almond Dream brand, it is just a tad on the sweet side, even though it's PLAIN. You can experiment with different ones. There should be a coconut milk based one as well as a rice milk and probably even soy, but your favorite grocer may not have them all in the PLAIN flavor). I do like this one though in this recipe.

The same amount of Vegenaise (Vegan Mayonnaise) as the yogurt. You can even use the yogurt container as your measuring cup! You can also use your choice of Vegan Mayonnaise, there are tons of different brands and flavors. This one is really good though. You could trick anyone. The flavor is extremely similar to regular mayonnaise.
 Add 1 TBS of Dill Weed. I really, really LOVE Dill, so if you don't want quite that much you can definitely use less. 

1/2 TBS Beau Monde 
What is Beau Monde? Basically a gourmet seasoning salt consisting of spices like cloves, cinnamon, salt, bay leaf, allspice, pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, mace and celery seed. It gives the dip a depth of flavor and that little something that makes people go, 'Hmmm, what's in that?'. 

1/2 tsp. Himalayan Pink Salt (you don't have to use this particular salt, you can use any salt you have on hand). I like Himalayan Salt because it contains the full spectrum of 84 minerals and trace elements. It is an unrefined, unprocessed "raw" salt that's hand-mined from abundant salt caves that were formed 250 million years ago as ocean salt settled in certain geologic pockets around the earth. I found this at Costco pretty reasonably priced and it will last us a pretty long time.
 Mix everything together and you're done! Put it in a covered container and store in the fridge. The kids absolutely love this dip too. They eat their veggies without it, but they eat WAY more with it!


Our favorite dipper is carrots, but you can dip any veggie in it!
