Spread this pesto over a fresh loaf of crusty bread, stir through pasta with slices of chicken or bacon for a quick meal or use as a dip with crackers. I always find this Basil & Cashew Pesto Dip delightfully satisfying. I love basil it is my favourite herb and currently the one and only growing in my backyard, I made it a priority to pot one up shortly after we moved in.

I made some of this dip recently to serve at one of my kid’s birthday parties, a lovely savoury snack amongst the other treats.
