Vegan Million Dollar Dip
This better-for-you version of the famous Million Dollar Dip swaps out mayo and cream cheese for tofu, whipped into a luscious, creamy base. Perfect for parties, game night, or anytime you need a crowd-pleasing dip. (And no, it doesn’t taste like tofu, pinky swear.)
Servings: 12 (makes about 3 cups)
Ingredients
- ½ cup slivered almonds toasted (reserve some for garnish)
- 1 block (16 oz / 454 g) medium or firm tofu drained (not silken, you want body)
- 5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for richness)
- 1 tablespoon agave or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup vegan cheddar cheese shreds (plus more for garnish)
- ¼ cup vegan bacon bits (plus more for garnish)
- 4 green onions sliced (reserve some for garnish)
- Pinch smoked paprika (optional for garnish)
- Crackers, toasted baguette, or veggies for serving
Instructions
- Toast the almonds: Place almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring often, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Make the creamy base: In a food processor, combine the tofu, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, olive oil, agave, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until silky smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. (A blender works too, though it may take more effort to blend.)
- Mix it up: Transfer the tofu base to a medium bowl. Fold in the toasted almonds, vegan cheddar, bacon bits, and green onions.
- Serve: Spoon into a serving dish. Garnish with the reserved almonds, cheese bacon bits, and green onions and a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve with crackers, baguette, or fresh veggies.
Notes
Make ahead: Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Do not freeze.
