Basil and Parmesan are a classic flavor combination typically found in pesto. We've added sour cream to this dip to create a creamy alternative to snack on. Use sweet Italian or lemon basil. Serve with crisp pita chips. Ingredients:
4 (6-inch) pitas |
cooking spray |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup lightly packed basil leaves (about 1/2 ounce) |
3/4 cup finely grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese |
3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice |
1 garlic clove, minced |
basil sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Split pitas; cut each half into 8 wedges. Place wedges on a baking sheet. Coat with cooking spray; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Bake at 375° for 12 minutes or until crisp.
3. Combine remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper, basil, and next 4 ingredients (through garlic) in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Scrape into a serving bowl using a rubber spatula. Garnish with basil sprigs, if desired. Serve with pita chips.
