Food of the Sun: Carrot and Sweet Potato Dip

Have you heard of the Bombies? Every year Morocco Blogs hosts the bombies for the best blogs in, about or relating to Morocco. I was nominated for best Moroccan food blog and couldn’t be more excited! Voting is open for a month and it would mean a lot to me if you would stop by and vote for Maroc Mama. You can vote everyday if you want! There are a lot of other great Morocco blogs listed and I encourage you to check them out for more inspiration and ideas relating to Morocco.

Today’s challenge is for a healthy Mediterranean dish. It doesn’t get much healthier than this dish! I came up with it completely on the fly when needing a tasty dip for a party. I didn’t have much time and in the spur of the moment came up with this idea.

Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato cooked
3 carrots – cooked
4-5 oz greek yogurt
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
dash of salt and pepper

Directions:
Cook the sweet potato and carrot ahead of time. I did my sweet potato in the microwave and carrots in the steamer. Make sure both are peeled. When cooked add to a food processor along with yogurt, dressing mix and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until combined. Serve with veggies to dip, dry breadsticks or crackers.
