It’s almost BBQ season, which means lots of gatherings with friends, dinners outside and river side picnics. A veggie tray loaded with crips seasonal vegetables and a creamy dip makes the perfect addition to any summer party.
This tangy and herby cashew dip pairs perfectly with any crisp vegetable and is loaded with good fats and protein to help keep your energy up. Plate it alongside fresh cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, snap peas, radish and celery on a show stopping plater for a beautiful snack or appetizer.

Feeling a little naughty? Serve the dip with crackers or kettle chips.
