Healthy Carrot Dip for One

"I am always looking for healthy recipes and this one from the detox section of the "Healthy Eating" book put out by "The Australian Woman's Weekly" caught my eye. So, I am putting it here for safe keeping. I am often the only person in my house eating the healthy recipes I make and that is also why I was happy to see this was a recipe for one but I am sure it could be easily scaled up."

  1. Liked this a lot. Made as written and it served two nicely. Served with home made tortilla chips and think would also be good with pita chips. Was a little concerned about the mint, but decided to stick to the recipe and was glade I did as we liked the mint and ginger play off each other very well. Thanks for the post.
     
  2. This served two of us as a dip. My DH, who doesn't like carrots, shared this with me! He made toasted tortilla chips and we ate it with those. Delicious! This was so odd going in that I wasn't sure what to expect; it came together beautifully and healthfully, without tasting medicinal! I think this could be eaten like pudding (okay, I admit to eating several spoonfuls!). Thanks, Sarah_Jayne! Made for Vegetarian Recipe Swap.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008. I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters. I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment. I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily. These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it. These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated: <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
