This makes also a very tasty side dish. Minced garlic (use it while grating), 1/2 wisp of ginger and 1/2 wisp of turmeric powder. It's done! you can eat it as a side dish for your favorite meat or if you're a vegetarian like me, eat it as a salad. I'm sorry for vegans though.

This was served with sliced cucumber and red pepper strips for an early Christmas celebration with friends. The carrots were grated; however, everything was whirled together in my Vita-Mix to get it the consistency I really wanted. Everyone loved the dip and it was extra wonderful since it was low in fat and calories. Made for Tis the Season in the Diabetic Forum.
