Ranch dip for veggies and chips, healthy style!

If you’ve ever been to Lebanese restaurants and fell in love with the white garlic dip that they usually offer with barbq’s or shish tawook (chicken kebobs), today is your day! This garlic dip is a favorite of ours and we just can’t have enough of it when it’s around. In Lebanon they call it “Toom” or “Toum” which literally means garlic. Different people do it differently, and a successful garlic dip has a creamy white texture with a beautiful aroma of garlic, and with a taste that is a perfect marriage of garlic and lemon juice.

The ingredients are simple: garlic, lemon juice, vegetarian oil, and salt. But if you ask any pro, the secret of its success is in the preparation! Traditionally, a garlic smasher (or garlic masher) made from wood has been used to make the garlic dip where the garlic and other components are crushed and mashed carefully and slowly. Today people are reaching similar results with the help of food processors if done carefully.

This sauce is a beautiful light green color.

Fresh Tofu adds protein & great flavor to this dip. Great with veggies and baked chips.

Eggplants were huge and cheap at the Sunflower market. BTW I love that place because they have great produce selection and a bulk foods section with any dry goods you'd ever need! Anyway, I bought two then didn't know what to do with them, so I decided to get crazy.

Tangy yogurt and Garlic-y goodness! This makes a less-guilty dip since it's made with yogurt instead of full sour cream. Excellent as a dip, spread on a sandwich, or drizzled over baked potatoes! Only 16 calories per tablespoon, and if you're really into cutting the fat, use only plain yogurt!
