This smooth and creamy almond spread is absolutely delicious–and so simple to make. Packed with fiber, vitamins, and healing antioxidants thanks to nutrient-rich veggies and almonds, this almond spread is much healthier than many of the high-fat dips and spreads you often find at holiday gatherings. Serve it as a vegan substitute for pate by molding it into a ball or loaf shape, or simply scoop it into a serving dish and use it as a spread for crackers, celery stalks, or lettuce cups!
