We Tried Trader Joe’s Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip

Trader Joe’s just can’t help itself when it comes to cauliflower. But where people looooooove the Cauliflower Gnocchi, and the Cauliflower Thins are interesting, I don’t think Trader Joe’s Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip is going to set any records. It’s true that cauliflower is the first ingredient, but I don’t actually know what it’s doing in this dip.

It’s really a mix of cream cheese, ricotta, and parmesan with some hidden cauliflower. The jalapeño adds a little flavor, but zero heat. Overall, it’s pretty plain. You wouldn’t know there is cauliflower in it, if the label didn’t tell you.


I dipped some tortilla chips in it, and I can’t see just opening the container and putting it out alongside salsa or guacamole or whatever chip and dip you’re doing. Too plain, too blah. So I did a little experimenting. Check it out in the IG video below.

If anything, Trader Joe’s Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip seems like a cream sauce to go with pasta, so I boiled a little orzo. While the pan was still warm, I mixed in a couple of tablespoons of the dip. It didn’t separate, so that was good. In a pinch, it would make a passable mac and cheese type thing. It needed a little salt, and probably more parmesan cheese. And eat it right away, the pasta got a little gummy after it sat for awhile.

I thought I might do a stacked enchilada thing, using the dip as a sauce for it. But after trying the orzo, I decided against possibly wasting the ingredients.

Overall, Trader Joe’s Creamy Cauliflower Jalapeño Dip is meh. Wouldn’t buy it again.
