A quick snack for my over-worked brain.
A variation on the Yogurt Tahini Sauce from my last post. Just add pumpkin puree. This is definitely becoming my new ‘hummus’ (I usually eat A LOT of hummus, and even though there are no garbanzo beans in this recipe, it is still a nice change…).
Tear up some bread (I found a great rosemary bread at my farmer’s market) or serve with crackers or veggies.
A little dash of paprika on top makes everything pop.
This dip is accompanying me to a pot luck this weekend. I am also going to make it next week with the group of vivacious ladies and gents. at the senior center where I conduct nutrition lessons. So easy, requires no cooking, and you get all the goodness and nutrition of yogurt, sesame, pumpkin, garlic, and lemon. Hurrah!
Savory Pumpkin Dip

2/3 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 garlic clove, minced

Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings.
