The other day I had lunch with and spoke to the Antiquarian
Study Group of Naperville. We had great
summer sandwiches and veggies with dip and a wonderful fruit salad with great
cream cheese dip. That got me to
thinking about fruit dips and I located this perfect recipe to share. It takes only 10 minutes and a blender to create
this, and you will adore it.
Strawberry Basil Dip
This recipe is perfectly timed for using your current local
fresh ingredients! Basil, which is
naturally sweet, combines with strawberry and honey to make a perfect dip that
is good on lots of things, not just fruit.
6 ounces fresh strawberries hulled (1 1/4 cups)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (1/4 cup)
3 Tbls honey (herbal honey, like lavender will add a nice
touch)
1 Tbls packed fresh basil leaves, purple or green or even
lemon all work well
In the blender container or food processor, combine
strawberries, cream cheese and honey.
Cover and blend until smooth.
Stop occasionally to scrape the sides as needed. Add basil and pulse until just chopped. Serve immediately. You can make ahead and chill for up to 8
hours, then serve a room temp. Makes 1 ½
cups.
