You can thin it down slightly and warm it up to use it as a cheese sauce for noodles or cooked vegetables, or you could thin it down even more for a salad dressing. Then again, you could just leave the consistency as is and use it as a dip for crudites or corn chips. This is a superb recipe because everyone&#8230;loves&#8230;cheese.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"recipeTitle\">Rich Cheddar Dip\/Sauce<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"recipe\">\n<li>1 red bell pepper<\/li>\n<li>\u00bc cup water<\/li>\n<li>\u00be cup raw sunflower seeds<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. tahini<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp. nutritional yeast<\/li>\n<li>1 \u00bd tsp. sea salt<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp. onion powder<\/li>\n<li>1 garlic clove<\/li>\n<li>2 tbsp. lemon juice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-270\" title=\"Cheese Dip Ingredients\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Cheese-Dip-Ingredients-510x453.jpg\" alt=\"Cheese Dip Ingredients\" width=\"510\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Cheese-Dip-Ingredients-510x453.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Cheese-Dip-Ingredients-1024x910.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/02\/Cheese-Dip-Ingredients.jpg 1215w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whiz in blender until creamy.
