Roasted Cauliflower Dip
I love finger foods. Set me out a bowl of dip, crackers and veggies and I have a hard time stopping myself from eating the whole thing. This Roasted Cauliflower Dip was no different.
Here’s a little spoiler alert for you all, but I have been reviewing a Vitamix for the past few weeks (review and giveaway to come Sunday night). It came with a cook book called Personal Blending: Your Signature Whole-Food Meals in Minutes. There are a few recipes that I have been intrigued with but I knew that the Roasted Cauliflower Dip was a must try. In fact, other than smoothies and shakes, it was the first “food” recipe I have tried in the Vitamix.
The only actual “cooking” involved with this recipe was roasting the cauliflower. Have I mentioned just how much I love cauliflower? It’s so versatile and works for anything: a substitute for pizza crust, mashed potatoes, a great side dish or (in this case) a delicious dip.
After the cauliflower was cooled, all I had to do was toss it in the Vitamix and blend. It took roughly a minute to put together.
One whole minute until I was in flavor town (I may have ripped that off of Guy).
I served it with some crackers that were 2 for $5 at the grocery store I carefully selected but I think this would be perfect with some carrots, broccoli and red pepper strips.
This recipe was good as it is, but I have to tell you it has inspired me. I already have a few ideas on how I can make this dip even better (it may involve cheese).

Oh yum! I love dips, we always have them out at parties. I will have to give this one a try
I would love to own a Vitamix. It’s just not in the budget quite yet. LOL! I love that it can make hot soups!
This dip looks fabulous! I would have never thought to make one using cauliflower.
This dip looks delicious and I always love your food posts. I’m a bit dip and crackers/veggies kinda gal myself and would love to try this out. I can imagine it would taste amazing with the cumin and coriander. you’ve added.
Cumin is my favourite. Put it on anything and I’ll eat it 🙂
I love cauliflower and without a doubt it is such a healthy choice for dipping; I’ll have to give this a try for sure!
YUMMY! I’ve only recently started toasting cauliflower in the over, and love it! Never thought of using it as a base for a dip, but I totally have to try this now. Thanks for the recipe/inspiration! 🙂
You’re welcome. Cauliflower is my favorite 🙂
This sounds so good! I love cauliflower!
What a yummy dip to put out around the holidays or even better a football viewing party! Love this!
Thanks Nicole. This recipe is a room pleaser, and a surprising hubby pleaser. He ate the whole thing ;)…I may have helped.
This looks delicious – and easy! Will definitely have to try it!
This sounds wonderful! A great twist on hummus dip. I would also uset his recipe as a pita sandwich spread.
this sounds like an awesome easy and healthy dip the whole family could enjoy
This dip looks tasty. I’d be sure to try it out if I won the vitamix! 😉
A regular blender would work fine too 🙂
This sounds like something my family would love! I’ve been getting into using cauliflower in different ways besides just straight cauliflower, and this sounds perfect! I’m saving this recipe for sure. I just hope that I can figure out how to make it grow right in my garden next year.
I would love to grow cauliflower. Sadly, I have a black thumb.
Wow yum!
This looks DELICIOUS! I am obsessed lately with cauliflower and I cannot wait to try it out! 🙂
This cauliflower dip sounds excellent for any time. I do something like with roasted garlic,the family love it
My next one will have garlic and parmesan and baked 🙂

It sounds really delicious. I eat a lot of cauliflower to help keep my weight down, in place of potatoes, pasta and pizza crust its usually really bland but with the seasonings you added ought to make it taste really good.
This sounds so good. I love, Love, LOVE cauliflower. I will have to make this soon! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I would have to add garlic 😉
That’s what I’m doing next time. That and parmesan 😉
If I won the vitamix I would certainly try this dip.
Always looking for new recipes, but not sure about cauliflower.
I love using cauliflower in interesting recipes, like the pizza crust you mentioned. I would try this dip.
This looks and sounds delicious. Roasted Cauliflower is my go to veggie side dish. I look forward to trying this tonight! Thanks for the great ideas and the great giveaways.
Sounds like a great flavour combination, will have to give it a try.
Just in time for the entertaining season, thank you
this dip sounds delish! We’ve recently started to wizz up cauliflower and use it as rice! My grandkids love it!
looks great. I’d also like to try a broccoli soup
My grandkids all love dips. They would never know what was in it. And I love cauliflower. Pinning it and giving it a try, for sure
This sounds delicious and being on the candida diet I think I can actually eat this. I can’t wait to try your cauliflower pizza crust too. Thanks for sharing.
I’m doing candida too after Christmas. I’m going to try to make a few candida friendly recipes on the blog.
This is going to be a must try! Sounds Delish!!!
WOW does this ever look delicious! i have never tried this before but definitely would like to

Sounds amazing, I love cauliflower!
So do I! We eat so much of it.
This would be a great dip to serve for a party or brunch
This would be awesome for a pot luck Christmas Party!
I’ ve just discovered the world of cauliflower this year (mashed cauliflower,cauliflower pie crust) and now this? Yum! I love cauliflower and this recipe sounds like it would be such a healthier alternative to my usual dips! Thanks for sharing!
I just recently heard about vitamix and I would love to own one. I just cant afford one. I know if I owned one I would use it often and would promote it to everyone that would listen. Good luck to us all! Lets see who will be the lucky winner!
This dip looks so delicious! I’ve got to give it a try!
Thanks Nena! It’s really yummy.
That sounds good. I never heard of it before, but I’m looking forward to trying it.
This dip looks so delicious! I’ve got to give it a try!
I am not a big fan of veggies so I usually have to have some kind of dip to go with my veggie snacks to motivate me to eat it, so I am definitely going to try this. It is a whole lot healthier than my usual dips! Such a plus!
I am the same way Jen. I usually have to dirty it up with some mayo based dip 😉
I also love cauliflower so this looks delicious! I think I agree though that the recipe looks like it could use some garlic, maybe roasted with the cauliflower first 🙂
This looks delicious! Also, HEALTHY! Bonus! This will be great to make over the Holidays.
Look delicious! Love cauliflower
I’m addicted to cauliflower!
This sounds great, thank you for posting.
I love, love, love dips! This looks yummy and healthy.
That dip sounds delicious and I can’t wait to try it out
I want to try this!! This will be the first recipe I make if I win that wonderful Vitamix 🙂
That’s great Crystal. I’m going to vamp it up a bit too after the Holidays 🙂
Love cauliflower dips. Delish
Any idea if there’s a non-dairy alternative for the greek yogurt? Would coconut cream work? Hate being dairy sensitive 🙁
Hmm…good question. You know I don’t think I have ever made a dip that wasn’t dairy based. Try it with coconut cream and see what happens 🙂 Let me know!
I would make protein shakes 🙂
That dip looks yummy. One of my fave dips is a veggie dip I have made for years.
This looks delicious! Can’t wait to try it out on my Christmas dinner guests!
Oh!! This sounds and looks divine!! Adding to my list of things to try!
This looks delicious- a nice alternative to the usual veggie dips! Can’t wait to try it!
I stopped by from Hit Me With Your Best Shot.
It’s so good! I’ll be making it again soon.
Anyou please share the nutrition information
Hi Vivian,
