Carrot Yogurt Dip

This carrot yogurt dip is tangy and loaded with warming spices from the garam masala. Whip this dip up for a simply holiday party appetizer!

If you still need a last minute dish to bring to any holiday gatherings over the next week or two, this pretty carrot yogurt dip is sure to win you compliments. 🙂 It’s super easy to make and is delicious with some crackers and fresh chopped vegetables. (In fact, it disappeared quite quickly in our house!)

I highly recommend serving it with the multi-seed tamari soy sauce crackers from Trader Joe’s which are pictured above. (Not sponsored!) They just seem to pair especially well with the spices in the carrot dip. Of course, if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, any kind of seedy multigrain cracker will work just as well. To serve, I drizzled it with a little olive oil and a dash of smoked paprika for color.

Also, if you are looking for another recipe that uses the spice, garam masala, check out the vegan creamy carrot soup I posted last week! If you can’t find garam masala, you can make your own OR you can substitute it with curry powder.
