I’m not a big dip person, for some reason every time that I see a dip I automatically think that’s going to be full of gluten and dairy and fats and overall, ingredients that are just not good for you. So when a friend told me that she made her dips using roasted cauliflower I knew I needed to find out more about that, and after some experimenting this French Cauliflower Dip came to life.

And to be completely honest with you I could not be more proud of it! It’s not only really easy to make, but it’s also so flavorful and so delicious that even die hard dip fans rave about it! Like really rave about it and really ask for the recipe and really want to make it at home. And when people rave about your recipe, and ask for the recipe and then send you pictures of how the did it, you know the recipe is a total winner.

For me, the secret is roasting the cauliflower until it’s soft and tender, I like to add a bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and throw a couple of garlic cloves in there. All mixed into a big pan of deliciousness and then roasted until fragrant.

While that’s roasting, it’s time to make the french onion which is basically onion cooked until soft and tender with a bit more of olive oil and a generous drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Just talking about it is making me crave this dip big time.
