Germany is still a traditional „Brotzeit“ nation. It means serving bread with different spreads, cheese, sausages, etc. Many newly vegans in particular are therefore wondering what to put on their bread instead of cold cuts, cheese and the popular hazelnut spread with cocoa? Fortunately, vegan alternatives are now available for almost everything. But with just a few ingredients you can also make many vegan dips and spreads yourself in no time at all. This is usually cheaper, more sustainable, healthier and, above all, tastier.
We have therefore put together 13 vegan recipes for dips and spreads that you can put on bread, in which you dip vegetables or which you can simply serve as a diverse side dish at the next barbecue party:
1. Vegan Liver Sausage Spread with Beans and Smoked Tofu
Liver sausage spread completely without liver. Instead, with a good portion of protein from smoked tofu and kidney beans.

12. Rhubarb and Vanilla Jam
Of course, jam should not be missing in the list of vegan spreads. It is mostly vegan and is only made with gelatine or honey in exceptional cases. The early summer rhubarb jam with a hint of vanilla is one of our all-time favourites.
