Maple Orange Carrot Dip
Maple Orange Carrot Dip
We are blessed with lots of bright, and gorgeous carrots at Farmers’ Market nowadays, and this dip is one of my favorite ways to enjoy carrots. The zest and juice of the orange brighten the flavors of the carrots, while the maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness that brings everything together.
For your next dip party, make this dip and taste the fall even more.
