Chef's Notes

  • This recipe highlights unique regional ingredients like Pomegranate Molasses, Sumac, and Fenugreek; we recommend seeking out these harder-to-find ingredients for the tastiest and most authentic experience!
  • We love serving this dip with grilled sourdough toast points.
  • This recipe is light in calories, salt, and fat, but is loaded with flavor and nutrients thanks to the incredible variety of herbs, spices, and whole foods.
  • Carrots provide beta-carotene which is important not only for vision and eye health, but also immune support. When used sparingly, avocado and olive oil are great sources of healthy fats. Nuts and seeds also contain healthy fats, as well as fiber and a variety of other vitamins and minerals.
