Liked this a lot. Made as written and it served two nicely. Served with home made tortilla chips and think would also be good with pita chips. Was a little concerned about the mint, but decided to stick to the recipe and was glade I did as we liked the mint and ginger play off each other very well. Thanks for the post.

This served two of us as a dip. My DH, who doesn't like carrots, shared this with me! He made toasted tortilla chips and we ate it with those. Delicious! This was so odd going in that I wasn't sure what to expect; it came together beautifully and healthfully, without tasting medicinal! I think this could be eaten like pudding (okay, I admit to eating several spoonfuls!). Thanks, Sarah_Jayne! Made for Vegetarian Recipe Swap.

I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
