I wanted to develop a vegan queso dip that was fat free, nut free, soy free and gluten free…good luck you say? This turned out great and so satisfying with crunchy tortilla chips or even mac & cheese. I have made a vegan queso dip before and the recipe is on this site but it has a good amount of soy cheese in it, it’s really tasty but I’m trying to develop more fat free vegan recipes since I have gotten a few requests lately.
Not bad at all and not bad for you…
