Description

Greek Garlic Dip

Ingredients

  • 6 slices whole wheat or white bread, crusts removed

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) mashed potatoes

  • 7 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped walnuts or almonds

  • 1 cup (250 ml) extra virgin olive oil

  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) lemon juice (or to taste)

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Soak the bread in water, then squeeze it to remove as much water as possible. Combine it with the potatoes, garlic, and nuts in an electric food processor and process until it becomes a smooth paste. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a thin stream. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve with pita bread and/or raw vegetables for dipping.
