Lactose-free dips, like this spiced carrot and cheddar dip recipe, can be especially delicious. This recipe calls for a number of fresh ingredients.

When preparing this dish, make sure to use a food processor. When processing the veggies, pulse everything until it’s roughly chopped—you don’t want it to be too smooth, or else it might be runny, and it might not work for dipping.
