I love dips. There’s something about setting out dips, homemade bread, olives, raw cheese and cured meats that makes me feel very European, and I’m into that. Even though I’ve only been to Europe once.
Also, I’d just like to say that I’m so excited for the farmers market to come back next month. My favorite farmer has amazing, gigantic, organic eggplants. Only one more month until that awesome market is back in my life!
And eggplants are super healthy. Eggplants contain:
- vitamin C
- beta carotene
- phosphorous
- potassium
- magnesium
- niacin
- copper
- thiamin
- vitamin B6
This dip is super easy to make and goes over well at parties.
