    2. Spicy creamed spinach dip as a unique twist on cheesy dips (or better yet, make it a spinach artichoke dip!)
    3. Hearty hummus recipe that is an easy crowd pleaser
    4. Vegan queso dip (or one with chorizo) - both of which will be the creamy dip of your dreams
    5. Vegan chili cheese sauce (in Instant Pot) which is dairy free, gluten free and oil free!
    6. Mango salsa, which can be easily made with frozen chunks!
    7. Creamy poblano sauce which makes for an excellent dipping sauce for all your finger foods!
    8. African pepper sauce, which is a spicy alternative to salsa
