Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups salsify roots (peeled and chopped)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Peel the salsify roots under running water to prevent discoloration and chop them into small pieces.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the chopped salsify. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pieces are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the salsify and allow it to cool to room temperature.
In a food processor or blender, combine the cooked salsify, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, fresh parsley, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as necessary for an even texture.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed. Add additional salt, lemon, or pepper to your liking.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately with chips, sliced vegetables, or crackers, or refrigerate for up to 2 days to let the flavors meld further.
