“Cheesy” Garlic and Pine Nut Dip

"Cheesy" Garlic and Pine Nut Dip

This “cheesy” garlic and pine nut dip is made with nutritional yeast to make it dairy free. The pine nuts give it a nice creamy texture. I garnished it with chopped chives, because I love my onions, and chives makes everything look beautiful. But, they are optional, of course. Feel free to blend in some roasted garlic or sun-dried tomatoes too, if you want some additional flavors. I had some amazing sun-dried tomato and jalapeno dip recently that I couldn’t eat fast enough. I also love my dips with baby carrots if cucumbers aren’t your thing. Those two are my favorite chip substitutes 🙂
