Smooth and creamy with a subtle cheese flavor, this dip tastes fantastic on crackers or raw vegetables. The “cream cheese” is dairy-free, made with coconut and lemon. Seaweed is loaded with delicious flavor and healthy minerals, B-vitamin folate, magnesium, iron, and calcium. We often don’t get enough of it in our diet, so I take every opportunity to add it. This dip is easy to make – just blend it and stir in the softened seaweed. You can vary this recipe a hundred ways. Try it on Makes 1 1/2 cups dip.
