This is definitely a different kind of veggie dip from what you would normally picture. What’s great about this recipe is you can mix and match what vegetables you use and how to dress your dip. Ideally, you’ll have a mix of good, fresh vegetables that are highly minced either using a blender or food processor and you can serve the dip with a vegan green goddess or ranch dressing and enjoy with pita or crackers. Kind of like a coleslaw-esque dip but without cabbage!
However you choose to customize this dip, it is great for gatherings or large family meals!
Ingredients
Veggie Dip
1 large carrot
1/2 cup broccoli
1/2 cup cauliflower
2 celery stalks
4 radishes
For serving: vegan green goddess or ranch, pita, crackers, or mini toast
Directions
Remove any stems or leaves from the vegetables and add them to a vitamix, blender, or food processor.
Pulse the vegetables to mince them, or if you have no other options you can spend the time finely mincing the veggies by hand with a chef’s knife.
Add the minced vegetables to a large bowl.
When you’re ready for serving, you may either add an amount of dressing to evenly coat the vegetables or leave the dressings on the side for your guests to add to their liking.
Serve with pita, crackers, or mini-toast or alongside other appetizers or hors d’oeuvres!

Ingredients
Southern-Style Collard Greens
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 can no-sodium, small diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed
2 quarts vegetable stock
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 pounds collard greens, stems trimmed, and leaves cut into ribbons
Salt to taste
1/2-1 Tbs Apple cider vinegar
Directions
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat 3 Tbs oil over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the onions and until lightly browned and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Then, add mushrooms and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until softened, about 5 minutes; lower heat if necessary to prevent overcooking.
Stir in smoked paprika, black pepper, tomatoes, and stock. Bring to a simmer.
Once simmering, add in the collard greens, pushing them down to fully submerge the greens. Return to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until greens are very tender, about 30 minutes.
Season with a few pinches of salt as desired and add in the remainder of the olive oil.
