How to Make Garlic Walnut Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast 2 slices of whole wheat bread until golden brown. Let cool slightly, then cut into small pieces.
  2. In a food processor, combine the toasted bread pieces (about 1/2 cup crumbs), 1/2 cup walnuts, and 2 cloves garlic. Pulse until finely ground.
  3. With the food processor running, add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, the juice of 1/2 lemon, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Process until completely smooth, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped toasted walnuts or fresh parsley. Serve immediately with red pepper and zucchini strips for the ultimate Greek experience! Serve with fish or fresh mozzarella and tomato slices.
