Hearts of palm are becoming fashionable in vegan and vegetarian circles for their meaty texture and lack of dietary restrictions. Here, we’ve used them in a deliciously creamy vegetarian dip that can be eaten with your favorite cracker or crostini. Stir your sliced veggies together with Chosen Foods Classic Avocado Oil Mayo, cream cheese and mozzarella, then bake for 25 minutes. The top will be golden brown and crisp, while the interior melty and stringy. It’s a bona fide party appetizer if we ever saw one.
Feel free to swap out Chosen Foods Classic Mayo with our other mayo's like our Roasted Garlic to add extra flavor to the dish.

Time-Saving Tips: Use a hand mixer to make the creamy sauce. Leave in the seeds and core of the jalapeño for extra spice.
