CREAMY ANCHOVY DIP
A simple yet flavorful dip that's great with raw vegetables. The subtle hint of anchovy enhances the other ingredients but no one will know they are in there. This is easy to put together with what you probably already have on hand but is a nice change from the typical dip fare.

- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the anchovy cream cheese with fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor and color.
