I’m sort of a dip fanatic! Many times, my meals consist of various spreads and dips because I just love them! Big games always need big flavored dips, but in most cases, they’re usually heavy and extremely unhealthy. I’m not toting this as a health food, but it is definitely a lighter dip to enjoy.

For those thinking this will not satisfy like other dips, I promise it won’t disappoint. The base is a white bean hummus, but the curry flavors make it truly amazing. My friend took a bite and exclaimed, “This is everything I want when I crave falafel!” Whether you love falafel or don’t even know what it is, I think you need to give it a try!

I love this served with pita chips, crackers, or vegetables. I’m always the one who brings relish to a party! Honestly, this has become a staple in my refrigerator and soon to be yours as well!
