I recently threw a party and I wanted to put out a dip made with goat cheese, but my stand-by recipe called for walnuts and I already had a lot of dishes with nuts in them and didn’t want to over-do it. To remove the walnuts from the other recipe would have been a crime, so I found something else to make and I’m glad that I did. This dip was a big hit. I think that it’s perfect for summer entertaining (flavor-wise), and can be served alongside so many other dishes since it’s so mild. I served it with a couple of kinds of simple crackers, but it would be great smeared on crostini or even a fresh baguette.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces soft goat cheese
- 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
- 3 tablespoons honey
Directions
- In a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, mix together goat cheese, lavender, and honey until smooth.
- Taste and adjust as necessary
Note: I left the goat cheese out on the counter overnight to let it get very soft so that it was easy to work with
