Pumpkin and Cashew Dip
- Total Time: 30 minutes plus cooling period
Description
This is an easy dip that is very forgiving. Depending on your tastes, you can add as much or as little flavour as you like. Want it hotter? Add more chilli. Want more zing? Add more lime. This dip is delicious served with our Seeded Crackers from The Lunchbox Issue and the Olive Oil Crackers from The Tea Party Issue.
Recipe Tester Feedback: “Prep is really easy. Looks shop bought, colourful and interesting. Tastes really fresh and vibrant. Love it and will definitely make again. I did have a bit of dip left after a couple of days and instead of wasting it I added some olive oil and a little more lime juice, shook it up and used it as a delicious salad dressing – yummo!” – Sally-Ann
