Lila Ross enters a party not only with her friendly grin lighting the atmosphere. Her dairy-free dip platter is a big hit at any kind of event.
Lila’s inventive and tasty dips have you covered whether your appetiser game needs to be changed or dietary constraints are being taken into account.
“I wanted to make something everyone might enjoy, regardless of their dietary requirements,” Lila says. “Sharing food brings great happiness; I never want anyone to feel excluded.”
1. Creamy Cashew Ranch
Fresh vegetables or as a top for baked potatoes make this smooth and zesty dip ideal. To make the best creamy ranch alternative, Lila combines soaked cashews, garlic, lemon juice, a little fresh dill and chives.
“The trick is soaking the cashews long enough,” she counsels. “It produces that ideal silky texture free of dairy.”
2. Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Although hummus is a crowd favourite, Lila enhances it with smokey roasted red peppers. Pita chips go wonderfully with a vivid, savoury dip made from chickpeas, tahini, garlic, and a hint of olive oil.
3. Salsa Lime Avocado Lime
Combining creamy avocado with chopped tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice, this fresh and tangy choice Lila chuckles, “It’s like guacamole’s fresher cousin.” Essential for tortilla chips or a taco top, this dip is a must-have.
Lila’s dips show that flavor-free dairy-free is not always what it sounds. Put them on your next party buffet, and see how often your guests return for thirds!).
