Spiced Carrot Dip
This recipe is a delicious way to transform carrots into a flavorful dip. These ingredients incorporate sweetness from natural apricot preserves and depth from rich herbs and spices. I love this recipe because the flavors are so full, ranging from sweet to savory.
Spiced Carrot dip is a great dip for your next super bowl football party. Skip the guilt of overeating highly processed dips, and instead, enjoy the delicious flavors of whole foods and natural ingredients!
