Eggplant Mayo

12 February 2015

With flavours inspired by the middle east, this incredible dip is so tasty, low in carbs and is a fantastic compliment to many dishes, I love serving my eggplant mayo as an entre at dinner gatherings. This dip is completely dairy free and can be enjoyed along together with flax crackers, veggie chips, sweet potato fries or with veggie sticks.
