Description

A delicious and refreshing dip made with soft cheese, fresh tomatoes, and basil, perfect for parties or gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 container (6.5 ounces) Alouette cheese with herbs or other soft cheese spread such as Boursin
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette glaze or balsamic reduction
  • Pita chips
  • Crackers
  • Thinly sliced baguette

Instructions

  1. Evenly spread the soft cheese over the center of a large plate or small platter, leaving approximately 1/4 inch around the edge clean.
  2. Distribute the chopped tomatoes evenly over the surface of the cheese, followed by a layer of chopped fresh basil.
  3. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette glaze or reduction in a back-and-forth pattern across the entire assembled dip. Use sparingly for balanced flavor.
  4. Accompany with pita chips, crackers, or thinly sliced baguette for dipping and spreading.

Notes

  • Trader Joe’s balsamic glaze offers excellent consistency and flavor, but any high-quality glaze or reduction will enhance the dip.
