Ingredients
1½ cupsraw sunflower seedssoaked in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then drained
¼cuplemon juice1-2 lemons, depending on how juicy they are
½cupcoarsely chopped bell peppersany color you like - chopping helps it blend up smoothly
1plum tomatochopped, for garnish
Instructions
Put all of the ingredients except the tomato into your blender and puree until as smooth as possible. This is going to take a while, and if you're using a regular blender, you’ll need to stop to scrape down the sides of your blender and give the mixture a stir several times as you’re blending. Just be patient, and keep on blending until the dip reaches the creaminess that you’re looking for.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill for at least 30 minutes. Garnish with the chopped tomato just before serving.
