Ingredients
- 1 cup Carrot tops loosely packed 20g
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt 215g
- ½ cup mint leaves finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon water omit if your yogurt is runny
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the carrot greens by cutting the feathery leaves from the stems. Soak them in a bowl of water for a few minutes, then rinse. Repeat. Shake the excess water from the carrot tops, then dry in a salad spinner or gently in a clean tea towel.
- Add all the carrot top yogurt dressing ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. If necessary, add another teaspoon of water to loosen.
- Keep in a lidded container in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Notes
- For best results, let the flavors marry together in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the carrot tops and garlic into a mince before stirring with the remaining ingredients.
- Full-fat Greek yogurt is best for flavor and texture, but feel free to use whatever you enjoy.
- If you don’t enjoy the flavor of mint, feel free to omit it from the recipe.
- To make this dressing more of a dip style thickness, use a thick strained greek yogurt and use water sparingly.
