Vegan Potluck: Spanish Romesco Sauce

Spanish Romesco sauce is a smoky dip that you will be making again and again! Delicious with crusty bread or on roasted vegetables you will love this recipe if you’re a big hummus fan.

Spanish Romesco Sauce

At first glance you might be thinking “She brought a dip and bread to a potluck?”

And you would be right, until you taste it. This is so much more than a dip. It’s everything hummus wants to be: spicy, complex & perfect with just about anything.

Dipped into crusty bread? Check.
Poured over pasta? Check.
Spooned onto roasted vegetables? Double check.

I double dog dare you to find something this dip doesn’t go well with.

Ok, I’m sure that this would taste horrible on ice cream, but you get the point.

I’m bringing this delicious dip for two reasons:
1. I know what a winner it is at potlucks
2. We will be in Barcelona by the time this is posted, a happy coincidence to share with you!

Think of this at the Spanish version of bruschetta; a simple appetizer that if done right is really, really, good.
Done wrong, and it’s nothing but stale bread and tomatoes.

On a completely unrelated note, I am beyond excited to be apart of this vegan potluck! If this is your first time here, grab a drink and be prepared to spend the next few hours drooling over plant-based favorites.
