Basil, Parmesan and Cashew Dip image

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.

This dip is always a hit at parties. I usually double or even triple the recipe because it goes so fast. It's also a great make-ahead dish, which is always a plus.

I like to experiment with different variations of this dip. Sometimes I add sun-dried tomatoes or chopped olives. I also like to use different types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds.

I added a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dip, which gave it a little bit of a kick. It was the perfect amount of spice, and it really kicked the flavor up a notch.

I used low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese, which made this dip a little healthier without sacrificing any flavor. It was a big hit at my party!
