The new "IT" dip!


I saw this recipe last month in a Kraft publication of all places! It struck my fancy, so I did what I always do....rip it out and put it in my recipe binder. Then comes Labor Day and I was in charge of chips and dip for the party I was attending. I pulled out my binder and found this little gem in there....a dip to be cooked on the grill? Perfect! I took it to the party and it was beyond a hit! Everyone loved it! I was lucky to even get a bit myself! I made it the next two weekends and it got RAVE reviews from everyone on both occasions. Well, it's settled folks, this one is a keeper! I happen to think what makes it so good is the pesto from my homegrown basil, so I included that for recipe for you too....enjoy!

suggestion: try the new Fire Roasted Triscuits with this instead, it works very well together!
Pesto:
2 cups fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth.

  1. Welcome to the blogging world, my friend! This recipe looks great and easy...when I find something I like I make it a few times in a row too. Case in point: Oreo Truffles!
