You know what they say, "The sauce makes the meal." These delicious dairy free dips will take your meals or snack time from good to great!

From appetizer dips like Roasted Red Pepper Hummus and Homemade Vegan Queso to sandwich spreads like Sun Dried Tomato Spread and Veggie Cream Cheese Spread to go-to salad dressings like Southwest Vegan Ranch Dressing and Homemade Lemon Vinaigrette to sauces perfect for pasta like Mixed Greens Pepita Pesto and Quick and Easy Spicy Marinara Sauce.

You'll even find vegan sauces and dips that make great sweet treats like Maple Walnut Vegan Cream Cheese and Toasted Banana Caramel Sauce.

From tiny drizzle to a big dollop, you'll want to work your way through all of these!
