Carrot dip is a flavorful spread or accompaniment, often made from blended carrots, yogurt, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and a medley of spices such as cumin or paprika. While variations exist across cuisines, it is commonly associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. This vibrant dip is not only visually appealing but also packed with nutrients. Rich in beta-carotene, vitamin A, and antioxidants from the carrots, it supports healthy vision and immune function. The addition of olive oil and tahini provides heart-healthy fats, while yogurt contributes probiotics for gut health. Low in calories and high in fiber, carrot dip is a wholesome choice for snacking or as a side dish. However, keep an eye on portion sizes if prepared with excessive oil or tahini, as the calorie count can rise. Pair it with whole-grain crackers or fresh vegetables for a guilt-free treat.
