This dairy-free dip will make an impressive addition to your party plates, as well as a quick, go-to snack for home. 

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted, hulled sunflower seeds
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • Lemon zest from a whole lemon
  • 1 teaspoon parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast
  • Lemon juice from half a lemon
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, dried or fresh
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups organic sunflower petals
  • Olive oil, up to ½ cup as needed

Directions

1. Lightly toast sunflower seeds in a large pan on medium heat, stirring or shaking until the smell is pleasant and the seeds take on a darker hue. Sprinkle with turmeric and remove from heat to cool. 

2. Add sunflower seeds, lemon zest, and parmesan or nutritional yeast to a food processor or mortar and pestle and pulse or grind coarsely. 

3. Add lemon juice, garlic and salt and pepper and pulse or grind to combine. 

4. Remove petals from enough sunflowers to make two cups of petals. Add petals to your food processor or mortar.

5. Starting with 1 Tablespoon olive oil, add oil and blend or grind until all ingredients are combined well and the texture is to your liking. More or less oil will give you a thicker or thinner consistency.
