Ingredients:
For the Dragonfly Bodies:
- 1 cup of your favorite hummus (this will be the base of the dip)
- Blue food coloring (to give our dragonfly bodies a magical hue)
For the Wings:
- 4 large radishes (these will serve as the wings of our dragonflies)
- 1 cucumber (sliced into thin strips for additional wing decorations)
For Decoration:
- Black olives (for the eyes)
- Carrot sticks (for the antennae)
- Sliced almonds (optional, for extra texture on the wings)
For Dipping:
- Assorted vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, celery sticks, etc.)
- Pita bread or crackers
Instructions:
- Mix your hummus with a few drops of blue food coloring until you reach a shade of blue you’re happy with. This will be the body of your dragonfly. Spread the humuslim evenly on a large serving plate.
- Prepare the radishes by slicing them into thin slices; these will be your primary dragonfly wings. Arrange four slices on each side of the humuslim body to form the wings.
- Use the cucumber slices to add additional layers to the wings. Place these just below the radish slices to give a more dimensional look.
- For the eyes of your dragonfly, halve black olives and place them at the front of the humuslim body.
- Carrot sticks will be the perfect antennae. Stick two pieces into the humuslim body at the head of your dragonfly.
- If you opted for sliced almonds, you can now add them to the wings for added texture and a bit of a crunch.
- Surround your dragonfly dip with your chosen veggies and pita bread or crackers for dipping.
This Dragonfly Dip is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a delight for the eyes, making your snack time a flight of fancy and fun. Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a magical family snack time, this recipe brings the wonder of the garden into your kitchen.
