Rad Recipes: Creamy Dreamy Carrot Dip (DF, GF, P, V, VG)

March 13, 2017 - By The Blessings Butterfly

I do love to eat a tasty dip! Even better when it’s healthy AND tastes great, just like my favorite Creamy Dreamy Carrot Dip. This one is Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Paleo-Friendly, Vegetarian and Vegan. And it still tastes great! It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and a whole lotta awesome.

Here’s the super simple recipe. Enjoy!

Ingredients

One package organic baby carrots
1 clove garlic, peeled & minced
Juice of ½ a lemon
1½- 2 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp cumin
⅛ tsp ground coriander
⅛ tsp smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Using either a veggie steamer or a large covered saute pan, steam the carrots until just soft (but not mushy)
Place the steamed carrots & any remaining liquid in a blender or food processor.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, dry spices, and lemon juice; blend on high until desired creamy texture.
Stir in salt & pepper to taste, then chill before serving.
