| Served as a appetizer dip w/ Avanti flax crackers & organic romaine, garnished w/ grated cheese, sesame seeds & pineapple sage blossoms |
Once you’ve made up a batch
of Avanti Roasted Elephant Garlic Butter, you can transform some basic
ingredients into this flavorful dip and spread. In the greater scheme of culinary creations, this green dip
is quite a healthful concoction.
It’s loaded w/ veggies and the dairy fat content is comparatively
low. Since it is nice and cheesy
and good for nachos and other bubbling creations, most kids will like it.
It’s a good starter recipe to introduce the wee ones to the taste sensations of all those good greens. You can use frozen spinach, kale, chard or a combo as well as green beans in this dish. Just make sure to squeeze out any extra liquid. You can also you baby bagged greens & zap them in the microwave, or sautĂ© them with a splash of water, salt and pepper.
