This Almond Spread Recipe is Delicious and Heart HealthyAlmond spread can be used for everything from a sour cream substitute in cooking to salad dressing and as a topping on baked potatoes. It combines these wonderful nuts and olive oil, two very healthy foods.According to Natural News , these nuts are "high in protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin E, and other antioxidants. They prevent osteoporosis and regulate blood pressure." Plus, the Mayo Clinic reports that olive oil will reduce your risk of heart disease by reducing the bad cholesterol levels in your blood. But heck, the health benefits are a fringe benefit. This almond spread just plain tastes good! I use the almond in its raw, whole, form in this recipe and buy them in bulk to save on costs. Also, you'll want to use an extra light tasting olive oil, as the extra virgin olive oil has too strong of a taste. Or if you prefer, use safflower oil in this almond spread. 
Ingredients
How to Make ItYou'll need to blanch the almonds first to remove their skins. Drop them in boiling water for thirty seconds and then drain them in a colander and rinse in cold water. Then squeeze them between your thumb and forefinger and the skins should pop off easily. Once they are "skinless" put them in a food processor along with the water and salt. Process them until you have a white, milky substance.Add the lemon juice to your oil. This step is particularly crucial if your lemon juice has been in the fridge. If you add the lemon juice separately, the spread might not blend properly. Turn on the processor again and slowly add the oil and lemon juice mixture. You should end up with a product very similar to mayonnaise. This recipe makes about a cup of almond spread.
