Sometimes, a product comes through our tasting panel that’s so fun, flavorful, and immediately habit-forming that we know, then and there, we have something special on our hands. Trader Joe’s Almond Chipotle Dip is such a product. Made with a base of smooth and creamy almond butter, and flavored with smoky and savory seasonings like chipotle pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and tamari, as soon as our panel tried this pleasantly peppery, vegan Dip, excitement and ideas rapidly began to spread: “This would go great with something cool and crunchy, like Jicama Sticks!” “I’d love to try this on a nice piece of BBQ Cut Salmon...” “Ooh, what about on top of a Quinoa Cowboy Veggie Burger?” We’re happy to report that all these ideas are right on the money. It’s scrumptious when scooped with your favorite chip, cracker, or crudités (we’re especially fond of using it as a supplemental sauce for our Vegetable Tray), it’s splendid as a spread on a sandwich, burger, or wrap, and it’s sensational as a sauce for lighter proteins like poultry, fish, and tofu. And since it’s vegan, it also makes a great alternative to dairy-based topping for homemade nachos, baked potatoes, and Battered Plant-Based Fish Fillet tacos.
