This Thai layered Dip has carrots, Peanut butter sauce, spicy salsa, cilantro, sprouts, & peanuts. all layered up for the perfect appetizer. Asian Flavors, zesty salsa or chopped tomato, onions, Sprouts and Peanuts! Vegan Gluten-free Recipe
Ok people. This dip clearly is a game changer. I made this for the last game this Sunday. And see what happened.
The game went from 19 – 7 with seahawks playing miserably to 22- 28 in the last 5 minutes of the game. yep. Game changer I say.
This dip has layers of shredded carrot or other veggie of choice, Creamy peanut sauce, cilantro and mint, salsa tossed with asian hot sauce, sprouts, and peanuts. (peanuts missing in the pictures – I had to move the dip from photo location to table quickly :). Use Almond Butter to make it Peanut-free.
Add other goodies like cucumbers, crisp noodles and what not. I use home sprouted mung beans, use any sprouts of choice.
And this dip does not go to waste. Use the leftover to toss in some crisped up tofu or veggies for lunch. Or use as salad dressing!
You need to make this dip.
Where are the layers you say, they are there somewhere. Make it look prettier with more defined layers in a smaller and tall trifle bowl kind of thing. Eventually, it will become all mixed up.
Yums to the yums
Tag me #veganricha on Instagram if you make any of the super bowl spread!
This game year has been full of twists and turns. Anyone following the deflategate.

Richa ..this looks so good. I want to try this for a dinner party. Can I make the nut sauce a day ahead? I am making a bunch of things, so it would be good if I could prep ahead and just layer it all up right before my guests arrive. TIA !
Yes, make all the layers ahead of time and assemble on the day.
What kind of salsa do you recommend?? There are a LOT of different ready-made salsas and I think that would greatly influence the over all taste. Can you point me in the right direction by suggesting a brand or basic salsa please?? This dip sounds amazing!!
I usually make my own salsa / pico de gallo. you can get the recipe for pico de gallohere https://fettabbau-trim.today/2016/01/easy-black-bean-burrito-bowl.html%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
I made this dip for a family gathering and it was a huge hit. It’s absolutely delicious!
Awesome!!
So amazing! We’ve made this dip twice to take to parties where no one else is vegan. All the non-vegans raved over it and wanted the recipe. We ate it with crispy pita chips and it’s hearty enough to be lunch! The leftovers got mixed into soba noodles on day three and it made an amazing pasta dinner. Can’t wait to make it again!
Looks good, but definitely not Thai. I’ll post some vegan recipes I’ve created since living in Bangkok
its thai inspired dip 🙂
Wow this looks so good! Can’t wait to try it. My husband has been teasing me that lately I’ve been putting peanut butter in everything. It’s just so good. And I love thai flavors. The combo of sweet and spicy is my favorite.
This looks so unique and delicious! I will definitely be trying it! 🙂
I made this for a gathering and omitted only the sugar. It was WONDERFUL and there was nothing left by the end of the night. Thank you very much!
That looks incredible!
Hi Richa,
Made this dip yesterday with homemade almond butter. I should admit that I did not expect that it would come out so good. It looked like a 5 start dish and tasted so too. 🙂 I did make few changes to the recipe, like omitting soy sauce, chilli sauce and sprouts. With these omissions, mine wouldn’t have tasted like yours :-), nevertheless, it was finger licking good. Thanks for sharing such an awesome and easy recipe.

Only good things come from things that include peanut sauce!! Mmm!
