Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 1/2 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup milk any kind
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Chips, pretzels, and/or raw veggies for dipping

Instructions

  • Add cauliflower florets and diced carrot to a pot with about a cup of water. Place pot over medium high heat and bring up to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to medium low. Cook until vegetables are very tender and are easily mashed with a fork.
  • Drain any remaining water then place cooked veggies into a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. If you want a thinner dip or to use as a sauce, add a little more milk and blend again. Taste and add more salt if needed. Serve warm.
  • Store dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Rewarm in a small pot over low heat, stirring frequently, until warm. You can also reheat the dip in the microwave.
