Sensational & Simple Minty Green Dip- No oil, vegan.
The best kept secret of eating more veggies, is always the dip or the sauce that goes along with them. If the dip is sensational, you cannot stop dipping and before you know it, you have eaten more veggies without any extra effort. and have nailed the basic foundation of healthy eating. What do veggies love to do the most? They love to take a dip..in the yummiest one possible- as my son says. Find the irresistible delicious dip and forget forcing kids to eat the rainbow on their plate, because it happens naturally.
This lovely green, fresh dip is the one hit formula that I depend on anytime of the year, to slather fresh or grilled veggies or to jazz up simple salads. Made with the sweetness of mango, heat of jalapeno, creaminess of avocado, hint of garlic, zing of lime along with the lovely aroma of mint and cilantro, this is a winning combination of fresh ingredients. The structure and flavor of this dip is reminiscent of Indian mint chutney meets avocado in the mango world. Regardless of the season, this dip has tropical vibes to it that are huge plus.
Unless you are allergic to any of the ingredients, this amazing blend of simple ingredients will make you go for second rounds on those veggies. Plus, the dip stores well in the fridge for up to 10 days, and is ready to go, to add some color, flavor to your healthy simple veggie based meals.
My personal favorite is a big platter of grilled veggies with this lovely dip that motivates all family members to keep grazing on nature’s bounty. If you have a party coming up, think of this dip as the center dish that will carry a super healthy veggie appetizer platter effortlessly.
