Choose a Dairy-Free Dip Base

Start with the texture and flavor you want. These bases can make satisfying dips without relying on dairy ingredients.

Bean & Chickpea Dips

Blend chickpeas, white beans or black beans with olive oil, lemon, herbs and spices for a creamy, sturdy dip that works well with carrots, cucumber, peppers and broccoli.

Tahini, Nut & Seed Dips

Tahini, cashews, sunflower seeds and other nuts or seeds add richness and body. When serving guests, clearly identify sesame and nut ingredients because they are common allergens.

Avocado & Plant-Based Yogurt Dips

Avocado creates a naturally creamy base, while unsweetened plant-based yogurt can work in herb dips. Check the label for added sugar, dairy ingredients and allergen or cross-contact information.

Check Labels When Dairy Avoidance Matters

“Dairy-free” describes recipes made without milk-based ingredients, but packaged products and substitutes can vary. Read the full ingredient list for milk, whey, casein and other milk derivatives, and review the manufacturer’s allergen statement when a milk allergy or cross-contact risk is important.

A vegan label can be helpful, but it does not automatically guarantee that a product was made without allergen cross-contact. Use products that fit your own dietary and allergy requirements.
