Happy Birthday Loved Ones
CHEEZY HEMP NACHO SAUCE
By Kristen Suzanne of KristensRaw.com
The next recipe I've made once before, without the tarragon, but I didn't like it. Wanting to serve a second dip, I decided to give it another shot, with the tarragon and extra herbs. I added extra basil, doubled the dill, a bit more lemon juice, some onion powder, and only used 1 tsp coconut oil which I think was too much and would omit it completely if I make it again. Since I wasn't sure about the quantity of one zucchini, I used about 1 cup chopped. As Kristen suggests, I thinned it into a salad dressing the next day by adding water and a bit more lemon juice.
I served the dips with crackers: black sesame sunflower crax, Everyday Raw's herbed crackers, and onion veggie bread.
Herbin' Ranch Dip

Yield 1 1/2 cups
This is the one of the most nutritious, delicious ways to have ranch dip, but without guilt. I love serving this dip at summer picnics with vegetable crudite or as a dressing on your favorite greens.
1/2 cup fresh concorde grape juice
