Basil Dip with Cauliflower & Carrot Crudite

A seasonal vegetable snack platter with a fresh basil dip is perfect for sharing. This dip is a great recipe to use up all that in-season basil, which can become quite potent with a robust anise-bitter flavour note; both the sour cream and vinegar help balance those flavours.

You can make this recipe using dairy or plant-based sour cream. Try my Cashew Sour Cream – scoop out all but 1 cup, then add the basil, and remaining ingredients to the cashew cream in the blender.
