Let's dive into the details of our Creamy Wilted Carrot Dip – a delightful way to repurpose slightly wilted carrots into a tasty and refreshing snack.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup wilted carrots, chopped
-
1/2 cup vegan Greek yogurt (we love Kite Hill!)
-
2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise (we love Follow Your Heart)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cumin for added depth
Instructions:
-
Begin by wilting the carrots. Sauté chopped carrots in a pan with a bit of olive oil over medium heat until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Allow them to cool.
-
In a blender or food processor, combine the wilted carrots, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and fresh dill.
-
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Adjust the consistency by adding a little water if the dip is too thick.
-
Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste. For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of cumin.
-
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and elevate the presentation with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh dill.
-
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
