Healthier Queso Dip

Healthy isn’t the first thing you think of when you hear queso, right? Well, in this case the queso is almost screaming healthy…except you can’t hear it.

You see, the queso doesn’t taste healthy, but it’s packed with veggies and has no heavy cream or butter! Just a little cheese and a secret ingredient.

Drum roll, please. The secret to this healthier queso is cauliflower!

With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, we don’t want to spoil our diets with queso. So my challenge to you is to give this queso a try and be sure not to reveal our little secret until everyone has tried it!
