Creamy Cauliflower Ranch Dip (Low Fat)

grumblebee's Note:

This creamy cauliflower based dip is so delicious you'd never guess it to be low fat! Delicious as a dip for veggies, pita chips, pretzels, etc. It is also fantastic used in wraps and as a sandwich spread. (great flavourful alternative to mayo!) This is also a great way to sneak some veggies to your kids when served with crackers or chips. :)

Yeah! I get to be the first review. I really liked this dip, but I am used to low fat eating. My family, who eats fattier foods, than me were just so - so about it. I used this dip for my relish tray for T-giving. This is a very easy dip to make and find ingredients for. Thanks for sharing a lower fat alternative for the holidays. :)
