Raw garlic is such a healthful and versatile food and is known for its anti-fungal, anti-bacteria, and anti-viral properties. It is excellent in combating a cold or flu and for candida overgrown. I add fresh, raw garlic to fresh press juices, smoothies, salad dressings, pestos, and this creamy spread which all maintain its potency…essential for reaping its maximum health benefits.
Ingredients:
2 garlic bulbs, cloves peeled
2 Tb. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
3/4 cup unfiltered olive oil
Preparation:
1. Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix or other high-speed blender and purée until creamy, about 1 minute.
2. Enjoy spread on pizza, crackers, added to salad dressings, in wraps, or atop a Vegan Lentil Burger.
Variation:
There are so many flavor options for this blend. Instead of cayenne try 1/2 teaspoon of ground sumac, chipotle powder, or hot curry powder. Or make a blend using 1 teaspoon herbs d’ Provence or ground sundried tomatoes in place of the cayenne.
