Natural Fruit Dip

This is a delicious fruit dip but would also be lovely spread over toasted gluten-free bread or crackers.  It is natural, healthy, and free of grains, refined sugars and dairy.  I hope you enjoy this healthy snack as much as I do!

Delicious on a honey crisp apple!
Ingredients:
2c pitted whole dates, covered in water and soaked overnight (reserve water)
1/4c raw unsalted almond butter
1/2tsp sea salt
1tsp balsamic vinegar
1tsp alcohol free vanilla (otherwise the alcohol doesn't burn off because it's not cooked)
Sliced fruit such as apples, peaches, strawberries, ect.

Directions:
1. Combine dates, almond butter, salt, vinegar and vanilla in a food processor.  Blend until smooth.  If needed add a tablespoon or two of the soaking water until it is as thick or thin as you like. 
2. Serve with sliced fruit.  Store in the fridge.
