Notes
- Note 1 this is 20 ml. As an Australian tablespoon is a bit bigger than an American one.
- Note 2 the texture of minced garlic is spot on for this recipe. I use garlic powder in cooking for recipes all the time, but not for this one.
- Note 3 this is the horseradish paste, usually found in the condiments section. It has a strong flavour especially noted when you smell it, however, it really mellows down with the cheese, so I encourage you to try it if you are in 2 minds.
- Note 4 you might prefer to use ground pepper as the texture of the cracked adds a little bit of crumb to the smooth cheese. You could also leave it out altogether. I prefer to add it and use cracked as I find the slight bumpyness with added flavour still quite enjoyable
- Note 5 our carrots, cucumber, cherry tomatoes and crackers are my favourite way to serve this dip. They add great colour and are so healthy they will fly off the plate. If you do the 'hard work' ie cutting and preparing them, the guests will find them so easy to put away.
- Note 6 this is the dip done as a chunky thick version, stop here if that is your preference or continue if you want a smooth texture.
