I’m a crackers and dip kinda girl. When I made my Rawesome Crackers last week for Vegan MoFo, I knew I would need a tasty dip to go with them. Normally I would whip up a batch of Homemade Hummus but I was out of chickpeas so I had to get creative. I literally threw this recipe together by mixing a few of my favorite things. I love sweet potatoes and the Asian flair added such a great flavor. While I used this as a dip for my crackers and veggies, it would be perfect as a healthy alternative to traditional mashed potatoes too.
