Baba Ganoush.

Baba Ganoush is a delicious dip in which the main ingredient, eggplant, is a powerful fighter against elevated cholesterol.

 

Baba Ganoush can be made days ahead of time but do take note that the garlic will get stronger each day. Serve the dip at room temperature with cucumber slices, celery, or your favorite dipping food.
