Veggie Dip Recipe for party

[fairygirl]

Im going to a christmas party tonite, and i want to take veggies and a raw dip - does anyone have a good recipe? that, for example, someone who isnt raw wont really notice? lol
im already bringing a cooked dessert, but i want something that i can eat.

thanks!

This one is very cool because it's so versatile.

1 C. macadamias
1 C. cashews
Lemon juice
Water to blend

Now, for a veggie dip add 1 clove garlic and grind 3 peppercorns. After it's all blended, you can add minced red and/or yellow bell pepper and stir it in for a confetti look.

For a fruit dip, use the first 4 ingredients and add some agave and a little bit of fruit for color.

Blend thoroughly.

Have fun and enjoy!

Revvell, thanks So much...now i do have cashews, but no macadamia's and cant even get raw ones in town...so im wondering what i can sub? I have almonds, sunflower seeds, and pecans - which would be best?

[Revvell]

Your choice. I've made it with just cashews when macs were unavailable. Don't think I'd use pecans though. Almond pates are really good so, that would probably be my next choice. Just consider soaking them first and peeling them if you want an almost white dip.

try throwing some chopped fresh herbs like parsley in there, and maybe some onion - it will up the flavor and color factors!
