In front you'll see the superb "Mediterranean-Style Cashew-Cucumber Dip." I loved this stuff! It's cool, creamy, and cucumbery. I made some lovely tea sandwiches with it, and they were a big hit. It's like those old commercials, "I can't believe it's not butter!" - I couldn't believe the flavor and texture of this dip with no dairy. Right on!
Next up, I made the "Sun-Dried Tomato Dip," which was also a big hit. A nicely textured dip filled with the flavor of sun-dried tomatoes without being at all overpowering, which sometimes happens with sun-dried tomato flavored dishes.I took both of these delicious, innocent dips, and turned them into tea sandwiches. Since it was a bachelorette party, after all, the sandwiches were cut into - shall we say - unmentionable shapes. So, I am too shy to post those pictures and besmirch my own good name! Use your imagination! Or maybe that'll just be worse! Ha ha. Anyhow, 5-stars for these dips... go give 'em a try.
Mmm, I love a good dip! I enjoy the curried carrot dip from Vcon a lot!
ReplyDeleteyay! glad they were both yummy! i've seen them in my copy of veganomicon - now it looks like i'm gonna have to give these 2 dips a shot! and i love tea sammies! i could snack on them all day! mmmmmmmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteMmm, that sundried-tomato dip looks ESPECIALLY enticing - yum!
ReplyDeleteHaha, too funny about the sandwich shapes; but hey, totally expected/"appropriate" for the event!! :0)
Man, I'd give anything to see the naughty sandwiches! Hee hee. I really crave some nice tea sandwiches sometimes- with watercress for crunch! My friend is borrowing my Veganomicon, but when I get it back, I'm totally checking out these dips.
ReplyDeleteThe cucumber dip looks especially fabulous, I bet it'd be great with some seitan gyros!
ReplyDeleteI don't really like cucumber that much, but both dips look absolutely great! I think I might give it a try in warm summer days!
