Recipe review-Walnut & tomato herb dip from Rainbow recipes

[djinni373]

First a warning. I don't like big, strong flavours, or lots of salt. I prefer a nice balance of natural flavours.

Made this dip because I wanted something healthy and different, and I was not disappointed. The ingredients are walnuts, tomatoes, salt, onion, garlic and mixed herbs and the dip is smooth, creamy & pinkish. It is super quick & easy to make and very nice. That was Thursday. But it was even better after 24 hours. Definitely one to make again although I will try fresh herbs instead of dried herbs next time.

I am really enjoying trying different things from this book. My only suggestion is that I would like a little more info about each recipe, eg what to serve it with, how best to store it, how long it keeps and possible variations where appropriate. But Rainbow Recipes is a really great book full of interesting (and healthy) things to try. Love it

I did email Aileen. She was lovely and very helpful. Here is her reply regarding other ways to serve this dip:

Walnut Tomato Herb Dip can be used on pizza bases, on bread as a sandwich spread, on hot baked potatoes.  You can use it up in rice or quinoa based patties or add to soups and stews if it needs using up in a hurry.

Thanks for passing that info. from Aileen on, Djinni, also picked up the comments on the creamy cashew mayonnaise review.

I have a few suggestions from Aileen about other recipes - I will post them somewhere a bit later when I have time.
