Ingredients
Enjoy this spread as a dip with veggie strips and baked chips. Stir in extra veggies to make it a more robust meal: good candidates include jalapenos, corn, and black beans.

1 cup tomatoes, seeded and diced

1 tsp. honey
1/4 tsp. sea salt
Pepper to taste
Directions
1. Place beans, carrots, avocado, garlic, and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
2. Combine the pureed mixture and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl stirring until well blended. Let sit for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
