Carrot & Caraway Yogurt Dip

If you’re catching Spring fever a little early this year (I sure am) – this recipe is for you! It’s fresh, easy, healthy, and perfect to eat alone or share with others! Did I mention how yummy it is..? Keep scrolling down for the full recipe. You can see me above dipping a cracker into this delicious dip! The color is a gorgeous yellow/orange because of the carrots mixed with the yogurt – brightening up any table it happens to be sitting on. 🙂

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of shredded carrots packed tight – you can find them in the salad section of the grocery store. You can also use 1 cup of baby carrots if you have them on hand or that’s all you can find. Either works really well.
  • 2.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • 1/2 Tsp Caraway seeds
  • 1 Cup Greek yogurt – 2% works well for thickness or Full Fat Greek Yogurt a richer taste and texture.
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a small pan on medium-low heat and toast the caraway seeds. Do not add any oil – the pan should be dry. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn. You want to shake the pan often and toast for 1-2 minutes until they are fragrant. Once they are toasted, take them off the heat and set them aside so they can cool to room temperature.
  2. Place the carrots into a blender or food processor. I use a Vitamix (blender) which does a great job and is easier to clean than a food processor.
  3. Add the yogurt, cooled caraway seeds and olive oil to the blender. 
  4. Blend until smooth. You may need to stop the blender and scrape the sides with a spoon or spatula to get everything off the sides of the blender. 
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir well to combine.
  6. Enjoy!!!Â
