What are some good pretzel dips?
user
Many pretzel dips are made with cheese and some kind of oil.  Some people are allergic to dairy products, so for them, a good alternative is to make a pretzel dip with tofu, chickpeas, and ketchup.

Tofu? Sounds weird. How do I do that?
user
Yes, tofu is a good vegan protein source that you can use in place of milk, eggs, cheese, etc.  Let’s start with making a creamy tofu dip:  In a saucepan, add a quarter of a block of silken tofu, and then gradually stir in a tablespoon of cashew milk, to form a creamy mixture.   Then, combine this with other ingredients to make the dip, like a quarter of a block of regular tofu, olive oil, tamari, ketchup, chili powder, and garlic.

Interesting! What other dips can I try?
user
Well, a good way to make a protein-rich dip is to just add in some legumes:  chickpeas and kidney beans are nutritious sources of protein.   You can also use other vegetables like carrots, spinach, or broccoli to make a good dip.  I know there are many more fun recipes for dips out there that you can also try.
