BASIL PARMESAN DIP (COOKING LIGHT)



Basil Parmesan Dip (Cooking Light) image

This addictive dip is from the July '09 Cooking Light issue. I served this for dipping with pita chips and also with bread cubes. It makes a WONDERFUL sandwich spread - we put it on a turkey sandwich. The original recipe didn't call for the olive oil; I decided to add it since it only adds about 1 fat gram per 2 tablespoon serving. So you can certainly leave it out if you're watching fat grams.

I think that MrsDash's Seasoning Blends are great, they pack a tasty wallop, without any of the unhealthy salt. Frankly, I don't miss it at all. There are enough blends(13 to be exact)to pick from, that you don't have to conform to any one in particular. Experiment with them!
