Zunnion Dip

Whenever you find yourself on a diet, you start noticing the things that you do out of habit. The evening snack of chips or popcorn, the veggies with dip or the ice cream. While surfin some food sites, I found a recipe for Zunnion on VegWeb.com and thought I would give it a try.


I assembled all the ingredients:

Then I chopped the 3 inch piece of zucchini into a small dice and about half the shown onion, which in total is about 1/4 of a large sweet onion. I did not peel the zucchini. I added in 5 small cloves of minced garlic. Put them all in a pot to sauté in their own juices. I added water as the liquid evaporated. Towards the end, I added 2 teaspoons of olive oil to help bind the dip together.

When it became soft enough, I put it in the blender to purée.

The finished product. I cooled it and took it to the class with me and had many requests for the recipe, so it was a success! It is good with celery sticks and other crudités.
