12-Creamy-Cauliflower-Dips.jpg

Looking for velvety, rich, and indulgent dips with a solid nutritional profile? Look no further than the humble cruciferous cauliflower, which can serve as the base for so many creamy, delicious dips in place on non-Paleo ingredients like cheese, dairy, and legumes.

These creamy cauliflower dips boast many flavor profiles, from cheesy Paleo and vegan “queso” made from cauliflower to vibrant, magenta-hued roasted beet cauliflower hummus (sans garbanzo beans, of course).

They all have cauliflower at their base, whether it’s steamed and puréed for velvety smooth texture, roasted for extra smokiness, or even riced to create a powdered Parmesan-like effect. Cauliflower is as versatile as it is delicious, and you’ll want to dip everything from homemade veggie chips to crudités in these many dips.

Not such a huge fan of the flavor of cauliflower? Not to worry—it’s such a versatile, neutral veggie that, when combined with flavors like turmeric, curry powder, or even avocado, you’ll hardly notice the cauliflower itself.

In fact, we bet these Paleo-friendly, cauliflower-based versions of dips like hummus and queso are so good, even non-Paleo dieters will love them.
