Carrot dip may sound unusual, but this Mediterranean-style blend is a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and a nice change of pace from hummus. It's delicious with pita bread or pita chips.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. It was still delicious!

This carrot dip is a great make-ahead appetizer. I usually make it the day before and then just let it chill in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it.

I'm not a huge fan of carrots, but I really enjoyed this dip. The spices and herbs really balance out the sweetness of the carrots. I'll definitely be making this again.
