RAW GREEN PEA AND ALMOND DIP - COURTESY OF KURMA DASA.
The second this dip hit my lips, it was love at first bite - I immediately became intoxicated with the unique zesty flavor and crunchy texture. This dip epitomizes the "blend and chow in under 5 minutes" philosophy that I am so fond of. It is dead easy, bursting with flavor, and incredibly versatile. Another added bonus is that the flavor mix is different from your hog standard store bought dips, and makes a unique addition to the nibble plate at your next dinner. This is fantastic slathered on rice cakes, tortilla chips, toasts, raw tacos or veggie sticks. I have been whipping up this dip to rave reviews for over ten years. I hope this will become a staple in your "delectable dip" repertoire, just as it has in mine.

- Soak the almonds: Soaking the almonds in water for a few hours or overnight will soften them and make them easier to blend.

- Season to taste: Season the dip with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve with your favorite dippers: Almond dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as vegetables, crackers, or pita bread.
