Cauliflower and Spinach Dip
by Tarla Dalal
A smart mix of cauliflower and spinach, boosted by a range of flavour-givers like tahini paste, lemon and garlic, the Cauliflower and Spinach Dip delivers a revitalizing rush of flavour to any snack that it is served with.
It tastes especially great with potato wafers or strips of veggies like carrot and cucumber. Just make sure you serve this dip immediately after preparation as it might get watery after a while.
Do try other dips like Olive Cream Cheese Dip or Radish, Cucumber and Curd Dip .
