For some reason--maybe because its winter--I have been obsessed lately with creating vegan versions of some of my favorite comfort foods. So when I started craving chips-n-dip, you know: ruffled potato chips and "old skool" French onion dip, I sought to avert a headlong plunge into a vat of (vegan) sour cream dip from which--depending on my mood--there is no turning back until the damage is done! This simple layered dip--as pretty as it is healthy--is my answer to a dip craving. The slightly caramelized green leeks and the glistening red oil play off of each other beautifully.
