Score a healthy treat for this year’s Super Bowl
This tasty dip is cheesy without any cheese
Nothing can stop us from enjoying our favorite Super Bowl snacks this weekend! We might not be gathering with our usual group of friends, but we can still make the best of it. And that means we will need some extra delicious Super Bowl eats!
This healthy dip is one of our family favorites! And it’s super simple. If you’ve never made a cashew-based sauce, you must!
Dairy lovers and dairy avoiders will enjoy it, regardless of which team they’re cheering for.
