It’s one of my favorite healthy dips — so good that I featured it in my first cookbook, Sweet Potato Soul.Not only is it complex and flavorful — sweet, smoky, spicy, and tangy — it’s versatile, naturally plant-based, and insanely easy to make.
I first experienced this dip over a decade ago at my foodie-aunt’s house, and I immediately knew it was the beginning of a long love story.Tangy, sweet, savory, and rich, it elevates anything it touches.As I am known to do, I played around with adding a Southern flair.
The twist of choice? Swapping toasted pecans for walnuts.These roasty, softer nuts blend up well and add a buttery finish to the dip, making it extra creamy and rich.Though you can certainly make a delicious Muhammara dip with traditional walnuts, I recommend trying it pecans if ever you have them on hand.
