One of the newest cauliflower dips on the market is the Trader Joe’s Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip, which boasts a creamy base of cauliflower that's joined by cream cheese, light cream, ricotta and Parmesan. The creamy cauliflower dip also includes a hint of pepper for contrasting flavor and it boasts just 40 calories per serving.
Increasingly, cauliflower is becoming an ingredient that's being used as a stand-in for a variety of dairy ingredients and in this case it helps to lighten a cheesy dip and pack it with even more nutritional value. The Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip has the potential to be enjoyed with everything from freshly cut veggies to chunks of bread, as its flavor and texture is indulgent yet healthy.
