Carrot dip may sound unusual, but this Mediterranean-style blend is a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and a nice change of pace from hummus. It's delicious with pita bread or pita chips.

I thought it was tasty colorful and definitely different and I am ALWAYS up for something new and out of the ordinary. I found it while searching for something to bring to a "Moroccan-themed" dinner party. Was going to give it 4 stars. But a friend of mine called the next day to see if they could have some of the leftover carrot dip her husband absolutely loved it it reminded him of a house specialty salad dressing he had had at a restaurant once that really impressed him. So for his love of it I'm giving it the extra star. Read More

Love the perfect combination of texture and flavors of this dip! I added a bit more cayenne pepper to zip it up. Also excellent with an assortment of vegetables to dip with. Read More

Really good! I thought apricot preserves would make this dip too sweet so I used dried apricots and cooked them with the carrots. I made pita chips and took it to a Moroccan themed pot luck and it was a big hit. I will reduce the sesame oil a bit if I make it again as it seemed to overpower the carrots. Read More
