When your planning on having company and need a quick appetizer for guests there’s nothing easier then making a dip to serve with veggies.  Dips are so versatile and easily adaptable to whatever you’re taste buds enjoy. This particular creation has a Mediterranean twist. Having a little picky food appetizer on hand is always a must for me when entertaining. Knowing my guests have something to munch on while I finish up the main course and sides helps relieve my stress, what about you?

Most likely you have these ingredients on hand and a food processor to blend it all. If you don’t it is still easy enough to blend by hand and in my opinion worth it too. 🙂

Shown below I scooped the inside of some English cucumbers slices using a melon ball scoop. Then added dip to each and topped with celery leaves and an olive. Easy to pick up and pretty too!

What gives this dip a little body is some added toasted walnuts. You can certainly leave them out as well but you may have to reduce the milk used so the texture won’t be too lose. My children don’t really like cheese dips like this so I had the opportunity to spice it up knowing they weren’t planning on trying it anyway. Hubby thought I could have added more spice but I think it has enough. You can always taste and adjust. You can also change out the green olives for kalamata or black and if you’re not a fan of roasted red peppers try subbing them with sun dried tomatoes.
