Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh basil, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese will give your pesto cheese dip the best flavor.
- Don't over-process the pesto. A few pulses in a food processor or blender is all you need to combine the ingredients. Over-processing will make the pesto bitter.
- Use a good quality olive oil. The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your pesto. Choose a fruity, extra-virgin olive oil.
- Season the dip to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste before serving. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Pita chips, crackers, and vegetables are all great options.
