Roasted Elephant Garlic Green Dip

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.  
  

Make those old fashioned classic nachos turn green w/ flavor envy

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 sauté them with a splash of water, salt and pepper. 

Amount	Measure	Ingredient	Prep Method
2 ½	Cups	Cooked spinach or mixed greens	Well drained
1	Cup	Cooked green beans
2	Cups	Cream cheese
1	Cup	Cottage cheese

Add all of the above to the food processor and blend to smooth.  Meanwhile in a skillet simmer the following ingredients:

2/3	Cup	Roasted Elephant Garlic Butter
1	Tablespoon	Madeira	Optional
1	Cup	Onion	Minced
2	Cups	Cooked and peeled russet tater	Organic

Once onion is tender, after about 10 mins, add to food processor and blend well.  Then add:

2

Cups

Favorite grated cheese blend

I like a Mexi or Italian blend.  Or use a mix of Parmesan and Romano, Jack Cheddar, etc.

If desired add:

1 ½

Tablespoons

Citrus zest

Avanti green dip served pesto style atop romesco cauliflower & sprouted garbanzo linguine
