I love pesto…and I love dips! So this dip is a match made in heaven. Dips are so versatile and can be eaten at any meal and in so many different ways. I enjoy them with crudités if I want something light, or spread on a crusty bread, toasted pitta chips or crackers. And they can add so much flavor to a boring sandwich by spreading some deliciousness on the bread before adding your filling.

Dips are also awesome as they are a vehicle for combining so many healthy ingredients, most of which can be raw. They are the savory equivalent of a smoothie bowl, especially if sprinkled with some dukkah.

I’ve used pine nuts in the recipe, but brazil nuts would also work. I recently discovered that pine nuts are in fact seeds not nuts! So perfect for those with nut allergies.
