Avocado Dip


You probably have seen me raving about Angie's Tempeh Chips these few days, and I think you really have to give their chips a try if you are residing in Singapore. You can of cos use plain tortilla chips for this dip.



This isn't my 1st thought when it comes to avocado dip. To be exact, guacamole dip is actually my initial thought. But I wanna make it vegan. So out go the eggs and in come the flavors: instead of using fresh tomato, raw onion and garlic, I decided to roast them in the oven.



If you can get your hands on sacha inchi oil, use it to finish the dip. It adds another layer of nutty complexity to the dish which really brings out the flavors. If you can't, you can use extra virgin olive oil. I decided to take things further by seasoning the chips with my homemade cajun seasonings. I am amazed that everything blends so well together and I hope you will give this recipe a try.

I had never heard of Tempeh, let alone tried it prior to this. I checked out the the angie's page and it sounds really healthy. As for roasting the veggies before combining with the avo, inspired !

I think you can find some tempeh at a supermarket or grocery store. It originated from Indonesia. You should really give it a try. Thank you so much. 🤘
