Description

Carrots may be a versatile vegetable, but they are still carrots. They require effort; they are boring. Sure, you can hide them in carrot cake or other treats; you can even make oatmeal or fries with them. But good luck getting your kiddo excited about eating them in savory form.

Enter this dip, based on a classic Turkish meze. Note the emphasis on dip, rather than carrot: this is really a yogurt dish with orange things blended in–in other words, it’s a not-vegetable dish that happens to have some vegetables in it. It tastes fantastic scooped up or spread on bread, pita, or other carb-y things; it does not taste of or feel like carrots. Good for them, but they just know it as good? Good for you.
