Healthy Sweet Potato Curry Dip

This Healthy Sweet Potato Curry Dip is almost like hummus but without the chickpeas. It’s a knock off of a dip I had while I was at Restoration Hardware’s fantastic restaurant in Chicago - 3 Arts Cub (if you are ever visiting Chicago, I highly recommend stopping there - it’s beautiful). It uses cauliflower as the base, so it is tasty without a lot of added calories, and is full of healthy veggies! I love sweet potatoes all year round, but definitely during the holidays, which makes it a perfect dip to serve at holiday parties and family events. The mixture of sweet potatoes and cauliflower give it a creamy texture, and curry adds depth of flavor! It’s a great dip to have around for mindless snacking!

Between the cauliflower and sweet potatoes, you will get a great dose of phytonutrients and vitamins, especially if you sprinkle on some pomegranate! Curry is a great anti-inflammatory spice that also has blood sugar-regulating properties! If you are looking for a way to add antioxidant-rich veggies o your diet, this dip will help…especially if you serve it with a pretty crudités of colorful vegetables. Remember…the more colorful the veggies, the more antioxidant-rich power!
