Raw Veggies for Dipping

Sometimes the veggies we get each week don't require any prep at all. Katie and I are big fans of snacking, and it's great to use some of our CSA produce for dipping. Here's a hummus recipe that we made recently for a neighborhood party.

1 large can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1/4 cup tahini sauce (we sometimes use Annie's Goddess Dressing as a substitute)
2 cloves of garlic
2-3 tbsp. olive oil
2-3 tsp. lemon juice
sprinkle of cayenne pepper

Above is a recipe for basic hummus. From here you can add any number of things to add flavor. For example, in the picture below we added a chipotle pepper and a handful of cilantro. Other possibilities include any herbs* from Breezy Willow, roasted red peppers, olives, capers, or anything else you have in your pantry or fridge.



For dipping we use cucumbers, green peppers, onions, pita, or whatever else looks good at the time.

* herb availability changes from week to week depending on what we are able to harvest on the day of the pickup. If you have any special requests, feel free to e-mail Breezy Willow in advance.
