Who doesn’t love a creamy vegan queso dip? 🙂 This one is one of my favourite dinners lately! It’s loaded with good nutrients and you can play with the toppings as much as you want! The secret to the creamy texture is the potato, in combination with the cashews! You can play with the spices as much as you want but I’ve found that these amounts are the best, at least for my taste! Personally, I also like to add a dash of Sriracha sauce to give it that extra kick, but that’s totally optional. I usually whip up a big green salad on the side, to add some fresh greens, but you can also just eat it as a snack!
Make sure to store the sauce in an air-tight jar in the fridge, so you can snack on it for several days. It goes amazingly with unsalted corn tortillas, but also works great on top of potatoes or rice! Feel free to experiment! 🙂 If you go with the tortillas, make sure to get unsalted ones, as the salted ones just dehydrate your body unnecessarily and are really unhealthy. Also, there are amazing unsalted options out there, which are just as tasty!
This queso dip is great for parties, picnics or just your regular lunches/ dinners! It’s heavenly creamy, vegan, oil-free and contains just the right amount of spices! I’ve made this several times by now and still love it! 🙂
- 1 big potato
- 1 small onion
- 1 Tbsp vegetable stock + ⅓ cup water (add more for desired consistency)

Would almond milk be ok as a substitute?
Definitely! 🙂
this looks great! silly question but do you peel the potato or leave skin on?
Depends on the quality of the potato. If they are organic and have a clear skin I usually leave the skin on and wash them thoroughly, if not I peel them 🙂 The peel just adds more nutrients, doesn’t affect the taste 🙂
Hello! Do you think this would freeze well?
Hey Rachel! Never tried but I don’t see why not since it’s essentially a vegetable soup (which shouldn’t be a problem frozen)! Hope that helps xx
