Crudités and warm pita with spinach kale dip

A shelf of one means dinner is dip and vegetables. Trader Joe's spinach and kale dip is creamy, tangy, and already seasoned, so this becomes a fast supper of raw vegetables, warm bread, and almost no cooking. Set out what you have in the crisper and let the dip do the work.

Serves 2. 10 minutes, 8 at the stove.

You need

To buy

  • 4 pieces pita bread
  • 1 lb mixed baby carrots, celery, cucumber, and bell pepper for crudités

From your shelf

  • 1 container Trader Joe's spinach and kale Greek yogurt dip

Staples

  • to taste salt

  1. Wash and cut 8 ounces of mixed vegetables (carrots, celery, cucumber, bell pepper) into sticks and arrange them on a plate with the Trader Joe's dip in a small bowl at the center. Taste the dip and add a pinch of salt if needed.
  2. Wrap 4 pita breads in a damp paper towel and warm them in the microwave for 90 seconds until soft. Cut each pita into triangles.
  3. Serve the warm pita alongside the crudités and dip. Dip vegetables or pita into the creamy dip until you have eaten your fill.

Note Swap the vegetables for anything raw and crunchy you have on hand: broccoli, snap peas, radishes. Leftover dip keeps in the fridge for a week and works on crackers, baked potatoes, or mixed into grain bowls. Serve with a side salad or soup if you want something more substantial.
