    Ok people. This dip clearly is a game changer. I made this for the last game this Sunday. And see what happened. 

    The game went from 19 – 7 with seahawks playing miserably to 22- 28 in the last 5 minutes of the game. yep. Game changer I say. 

    This dip has layers of shredded carrot or other veggie of choice, Creamy peanut sauce, cilantro and mint, salsa tossed with asian hot sauce, sprouts, and peanuts. (peanuts missing in the pictures – I had to move the dip from photo location to table quickly :). Use Almond Butter to make it Peanut-free.

    Add other goodies like cucumbers, crisp noodles and what not. I use home sprouted mung beans, use any sprouts of choice. 

    And this dip does not go to waste. Use the leftover to toss in some crisped up tofu or veggies for lunch. Or use as salad dressing! 

    You need to make this dip.

    Where are the layers you say, they are there somewhere. Make it look prettier with more defined layers in a smaller and tall trifle bowl kind of thing. Eventually, it will become all mixed up.

    This game year has been full of twists and turns. Anyone following the deflategate.

      Delicious, but to be truly vegan, the recipe should specify Vegan Siracha-style sauce. Regular Siracha has fish sauce (anchovy-based) in it. It doesn’t taste as good, but avoids the fish content.

        Thanks! Many sriracha brands are vegan while others are not. so are other condiments as well. ill specify vegan sriracha. its a vegan blog, so its obvious that the ingredient used should be vegan.

      This dip never fails to please! It has become our go-to dip for all kinds of gatherings. I love that it’s vegan and gluten-free, but I notice a lot of meat eaters chowing down on it, too. Because it’s THAT good. The sprouts give it a nice crunch, but they are getting harder to find at the stores around here, and I can assure you that the dip is delicious even without the sprouts!

      Richa ..this looks so good. I want to try this for a dinner party. Can I make the nut sauce a day ahead? I am making a bunch of things, so it would be good if I could prep ahead and just layer it all up right before my guests arrive. TIA !

      What kind of salsa do you recommend?? There are a LOT of different ready-made salsas and I think that would greatly influence the over all taste. Can you point me in the right direction by suggesting a brand or basic salsa please?? This dip sounds amazing!!

          So amazing! We’ve made this dip twice to take to parties where no one else is vegan. All the non-vegans raved over it and wanted the recipe. We ate it with crispy pita chips and it’s hearty enough to be lunch! The leftovers got mixed into soba noodles on day three and it made an amazing pasta dinner. Can’t wait to make it again!

      Wow this looks so good! Can’t wait to try it. My husband has been teasing me that lately I’ve been putting peanut butter in everything. It’s just so good. And I love thai flavors. The combo of sweet and spicy is my favorite.

      Hi Richa,
      Made this dip yesterday with homemade almond butter. I should admit that I did not expect that it would come out so good. It looked like a 5 start dish and tasted so too. 🙂 I did make few changes to the recipe, like omitting soy sauce, chilli sauce and sprouts. With these omissions, mine wouldn’t have tasted like yours :-), nevertheless, it was finger licking good. Thanks for sharing such an awesome and easy recipe.
