And paleo herby cream cheese dip, vegan

Last week we had a crazy idea. We wanted to eat a snack that wasn’t sweet.

Yes, we guess we're getting old and boring.

But we had a vision. We had a dream. A dream of a fresh cucumber-based snack. Of course with some garlic in it. After all, what’s a snack without garlic?

We tell you what it is: not welcome in our kitchen.

So we basically wanted something like a tzatziki but in snack form.

So we made this.

And it is like a tzatziki in snack form.

Kinda like a cream cheese dip, but not heavy – light, herby, garlicky, lemony. Satisfying.

We're not gonna lie to you – it’s simple. And it is what it looks like – dip on a cucumber slice. We realize we are not going to win the Nobel Prize for this invention, even though you and we, both realize that’s unfair and wrong. But we don’t even care. Who needs a Nobel Prize when you have dip on a cucumber?

The first day we ate this as a snack and the next few days in lettuce wraps. It’s a great addition to fish, other vegetables, lentils, anything. We even have to admit we like it more in wraps – as a snack it might be a little too strong for some of you, even though we still love it from the bottom of our heart.

This dip actually gets better when it stays after a day in the fridge. But even if you eat it right away – it’s tasty.

Health and Beauty Benefits

The great thing about this little dip is that it’s anti-inflammatory (among other things). Lately we are focused on eating more anti-inflammatory foods because we gained some weight, but also because of some health complaints like joint pain and allergy.

Well this dip is made out of sunflower seeds and walnuts, so we have a good omega-3/omega-6 ratio. And it’s also filled with garlic and mint – which are both powerful anti-inflammatory foods.
