Cinco de Mayo is a fun celebration filled with spices and flavors that scream of the approaching summertime and warm weather. Unfortunately, however, many dishes prepared for Cinco de Mayo also seem to celebrate dairy products like cheese and sour cream, which spells anything but summertime for those on the dairy-free diet!

This dairy-free queso dip is a flavorful, creamy dip that I have served for years for Cinco de Mayo and other parties, and it has become a favorite among my friends and family. Here are a few more Dairy-Free Cinco de Mayo Recipes for this Monday:
