BASIL, PARMESAN AND CASHEW DIP
I'm totally addicted to this dip. It's a copycat of the current dips that are quite expensive to buy in the delis. It's fantastic served with rice crackers or used in your cooking as a pesto sauce. It's fantastic on pasta, chicken or fish.

BASIL PARMESAN DIP (COOKING LIGHT)
This addictive dip is from the July '09 Cooking Light issue. I served this for dipping with pita chips and also with bread cubes. It makes a WONDERFUL sandwich spread - we put it on a turkey sandwich. The original recipe didn't call for the olive oil; I decided to add it since it only adds about 1 fat gram per 2 tablespoon serving. So you can certainly leave it out if you're watching fat grams.

BASIL AND CASHEW PESTO PIZZAS
I grow basil and love making this homemade pesto pizza. Sometimes I make the pesto the day before and spread it on pizza crust the next day. -Charlotte Rogers, Virginia Beach, Virginia

CASHEW BASIL PESTO
This is so simple yet amazingly delicious!!! Use it on pasta, chicken, fish or spread on crackers or crostini!!! You can use any kind of cashew. I like to use the roasted salted cashew pieces. But if you want unsalted, just adjust the amount of salt at the end.
