- 1/4 cup steamed cauliflower, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- HIPPEAS chickpea puffs for dipping
Instructions:
- Start by steaming the carrots and cauliflower until they are tender. This can be done on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe dish with a bit of water. I like using the frozen microwave to steam veggies!
- In a blender, combine the steamed carrots, steamed cauliflower, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder.

- Once blended, transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
