Hey Mambo Pesto Cracker Dip



I love a good dip.

I love crackers and dip. They are easy to share and easy for parties or get togethers, and there is plenty of room for creativity. Just start with a dairy, (cream cheese, yogurt, mayo..) and mix in your add ins and WHA LA, you've got a tasty dip or spread.

This one here is a fun one, it reminds me of Italy or well, at least pretending to be in Italy. It is chock full of flavor and it was extra fun to use some of what I have in my garden, which in this case, I used freshly chopped parsley from out back.

This spread was used for a party we were invited to with all our worship leading friends/bands from the lovely family at Crossroads. It was a fun time to had by all. Go ahead, give it a dip!!

You will need:

1 8 oz bar of cream cheese
1/8 tsp garlic salt

3 tablespoons of butter, melted
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon of ginger
1/8 tsp mustard

2 tablespoons of pesto
3 tablespoons of olive oil
kosher salt and pepper to taste

In large bowl, mix cream cheese and garlic salt with blender till fluffy. Set aside.
In small bowl, mix butter, parsley, ginger, and mustard. Pour wet mixture in with cream cheese mixture.
Add pesto, Olive oil, and salt and pepper. Give it another blend until everything is thoroughly mixed.
Place in serving bowl and serve with wheat thins and pita chips.
Enjoy.
