Almond Quinoa Dip Recipe
A riff on the Spanish soup, sopa de ajo blanco, you can decide how much garlic you'd like to add. The traditional soup recipe omits olives, but the olives give this dip a salty, briny bite that helps balance the sweetness of the white grape juice.
Ingredients- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup raw almonds
- 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced (use as much as garlic as you'd like)
- 1 tablespoon pitted Spanish olives
- 1/2 to 1 cup white grape juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- sprinkle of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and whizz, adding grape juice as necessary, until desired consistency is reached.
