Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Assorted vegetables (such as cauliflower and broccoli florets, carrot and celery sticks, bell pepper strips, and jicama sticks)
10 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons purchased pesto
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Arrange vegetables on platter; cover and chill. Blend cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup pesto, lemon juice, and lemon peel in processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Top dip with dollops of remaining 2 tablespoons pesto. Sprinkle dip with toasted pine nuts. Serve dip alongside platter of assorted vegetables.

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.

Conclusion:

Pesto cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, and it can be served with your favorite dippers. This dip is also a great way to use up leftover pesto.
