Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw unsalted pistachios
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Begin by shelling the raw unsalted pistachios if they are not already shelled. You need 1 cup of shelled pistachios for this recipe.
Step 2
Place the pistachios into a bowl and pour 0.5 cup of warm water over them. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes. This softens the nuts, making them easier to blend.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the pistachios completely and add them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Step 4
Add 0.25 cup of low-fat Greek yogurt into the processor with the pistachios. This adds creaminess while keeping fat content low.
Step 5
To sweeten the spread naturally, add 1 tablespoon of honey into the mixture.
Step 6
For a hint of tanginess, add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 7
Season the mixture with 0.25 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of garlic powder to enhance the flavors.
Step 8
Blend all the ingredients together on high speed until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and blend again until the desired texture is achieved.
Step 10
Once blended to your liking, transfer the pistachio spread into a serving dish or airtight container.
Step 11
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one week. Enjoy as a spread on bread, crackers, or as a dip for vegetables.
