This is a rich but easy to make dip. Go easy on the dip and eat it with lots of vegetables or wrapped in lettuce leaves with sprouts and tomato.
Serves: Makes 2 cups
Prep Time: 300 min
Cook Time: 5 min
Ingredients
1 Cup
Raw sunflower seeds
1-2 Tbsp
Lemon juice
2-3 Tbsp
Italian parsley, chopped
1/2 Cup
Basil leaves
1 Tbsp
Tamari (optional)
1-2 Cloves
Garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Soak the sunflower seeds in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight, or from morning until evening.
2
Drain sunflower seeds (reserving water in case you need it) and put into food processor or high speed blender with the remaining ingredients. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides as you need to. Add some of the soaking water, if necessary, to make it a spreadable consistency.
