Cauliflower Miso Dip

If you're looking for a new dip to jazz up your favorite crackers or veggies I've got you covered! This dip is reminiscent of a silky smooth hummus and is bursting with flavor. Between the cauliflower, miso and tahini this is just what we needed as an afternoon pick-me-up. Taylor and I enjoyed this dip while we finished placing last minute seed orders which resulted in our decision to grow way more cauliflower this season! Our cauliflower did really well last fall but our spring planting in 2016 was a total bust. We're crossing our fingers that this spring things will be different. And if so--we'll be making WAY more of this dip. Not only is this good with crackers and veggies, but it tastes great smeared on a piece of toast with a fried egg on top. Perfect fuel to start the day! I hope you all enjoy this dip as much as we do. Grab some veggies and get dipping!
