Not Cheese Dip

Kumquat Knickers's Note:

Really a full meal in sauce form. There are a lot of ingredients, but since it's combined in the blender, it's super easy. This is adapted from a recipe originally published in Vegan Lunchbox Around the World by Jennifer McCann. Whenever I ask my 8-year-old daughter if she wants something special for dinner, this is what she asks for. We dip tortilla chips in it, but it's good spread on burritos.
