Dips and dressing are a great way of lifting up a healthy meal. Dip doesn’t necessarily have to come at the cost of nutritional quality. Most conventional dips, humuss[es?], and dressings and be major nutritional let-downs. They’re often riddled with industrial process oils, sugar, preservatives, and questionable additives.
Putting a small amount of effort into making a delicious condiment that will last a bunch of the weeks can really pay off for keeping healthy eating interesting.
I came up with this beautiful dip over the weekend. It has multiple layers of flavour really making it a dip to die for.
Please please please try this one out when you get the chance.
