Cheese is quintessential to sporting events and tailgate parties. We have reduced the calories slightly, but really impacted the amount of saturated fat in this dip. We've accomplished this by eliminating the processed cheese and cream and replacing it with Cashew Cream and Spices. This is a much healthier version of the classic, Nacho Cheese Sauce. We've then used it in three beautiful dishes and lightened those up substantially by incorporating more vegetables and tons of spices
