Dill Bread Dip- Vegan

One of my favorite party appetizers, pre-vegan, was Dill Bread Dip; complete with a bread bowl and chipped beef. That dip – laden with mayo, sour cream, and chipped beef – not so vegan-friendly.  Well, we veganized it and, in my opinion, it tastes better! We even used the fresh dill from our CSA! This dip is oil free and low fat; so grab your favorite pumpernickel or rye bread and get dipping!

Creamy dip and bread... that is undoubtedly a winning combination - and it's vegan; oil-free, and DELICIOUS!
