Greek Garlic Dip

Greek Garlic Dip

Ingredients:

6 slices whole wheat or white bread, crusts removed
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
7 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice (preference)
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Soak the bread in water, then squeeze it to remove as much water as possible. Combine it with the potatoes, garlic and nuts in an electric food processor, and process to a smooth paste.

With the processor running, add the olive oil in a thin stream. Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve with pita bread and/or raw vegetables for dipping.

Makes about 3 cups.
