I want to make a homemade dip, but I just wanted to keep it simple, just put the veggies into the magic bullet and blend... does anyone have anything like that? If so, what kind of veggies, and how much?
Thanks!
Have a great day! : )

Probably one of the simplest classic vegetable dips is hummus. Not sure if this fits exactly what you are trying to find, but it will get things started:
1 can (15 oz) chick peas (if you wish to use the dried variety, they need to be soaked overnight in water to plump up. They weigh them out to 15 oz).2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup Tahini or Sesame paste1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
3 cloves garlic (more or less according to taste)3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper1/2 teaspoon saltChopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)Drain the chick peas reserving some of the liquid to thin the Hummus later if needed.Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, onion, garlic, olive oil, cumin, pepper and salt in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth adding the chick pea juice to thin if needed.Refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend together.When serving, garnish with parsley, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a dusting of paprika. It is up to you.

I like kalmata tampenade. Most recipes I have found have some anchovies in it but this one does not. Add a few if they are to your taste.
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 tablespoons capers
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
pink sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Place the garlic cloves into a blender or food processor; pulse to mince. Add the olives, capers, parsley, lemon juice, and olive oil Blend until everything is finely chopped. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
I do it all the time!!
I just blend
2 garlic cloves
2 onions
2 cucumbers
1 carrot
1 can of chick peas
Then add a squeeze of Lemon and Lime juice!
And a dash of salt and pepper!
Chill for 3 hrs and serve!
