Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large carrot
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and chop the large carrot into small pieces for faster cooking.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the chopped carrot, and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the carrot becomes soft and tender.
Drain the cooked carrot and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine the cooked carrot, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a few times to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed (e.g., add a pinch more salt or a dash of cumin).
Transfer the carrot dip to a small serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or as a spread for sandwiches. Enjoy!
