I'm a confessed dip addict! I love to dip, so with summer on the way, I mastered fruit dip! At the market this week, I found the most beautiful strawberries, blackberries, mandarin oranges, and pineapple. Instead of making a fruit salad, II prepared a fabulous vegan fruit dip.
As a kid, my grandma made spectacular fruit dip. Unfortunately, the ingredients were far from vegan, nor were they healthy.
So, I took her dip recipe and made my version of vegan dip for fruit. And this dip for fruit is so easy; I think it's my new favorite summertime recipe.
If you are searching for an easy, one cup blender recipe to bring to your next barbeque or get-together, look no further. All you need is a high-speed blender and a few simple ingredients.

Can this dip for fruit be frozen?
The dip can be mixed together and stored in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 1 week. But, it can also be frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. However, for the best result, thaw completely in the refrigerator before serving if the texture is too thick, reblend in a high-speed blender with a little added water or additional orange juice.
