Garlic Walnut Dip
Garlic Walnut Dip
Submitted By:

This unusual dip or sauce uses whole-wheat toast crumbs and walnuts for body. The flavor comes from favorite Mediterranean ingredients - garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. The dip can be used as a sauce for fish or spooned over slices of fresh mozarella and tomatoes. Serve it in a small bowl surrounded by red pepper and zucchini strips. Then, imagine you're in Greece!
