Pesto Dip
Pesto is one of my favorite ingredients. Making and cooking with it in the summer, when fresh basil is growing in my garden, adds so much flavor to pasta and chicken dishes. While this recipe uses purchased pesto, substituting with homemade is a great choice. Either way, this is a great dip that is tough to stop eating once you start.
