I made the dip. / myLot

I made the arugula dip and found out what I would take away from the recipe. I should not have added any milk even though it was just a bit. It is much too liquid and I am not sure how I will use it as a dip. Still, I could use it as a dressing (it´s delicious) but right now I wanted an appetizer. It will not be wasted anyway. I added a bit of English sauce and more salt than what the recipe said. The dip came out with a white color with a small amount of green. I finely grated the nuts so they did not have a different taste or feeling from the rest of the sauce. Altogether, I liked it. Do you try new recipes and then make amendments?

I am not much good at coming up with recipes like that but I am glad you got to use it

I am never brave enough to stray too far from the recipe.

I do not add milk to the arugula dip, only cream cheese and a bit of sour cream. The arugula pesto is also delicious.

I was following a recipe, but I will make amends to it. No milk. This one had several strong cheeses besides the cream cheese. I have never done pesto with anything but basil.

@marguicha I make arugula pesto in summer, I have plenty of arugula in my garden. It is an interesting variation, good to serve with the special Italian pasta called "orecchiette".

Although I have no idea what it is, but it looks very attractive for me. I think it is still delicious

Any salty paste can be turned into an appetizer.

I usually follow a recipe pretty carefully but Vince is much more creative and adds all sorts of things. It always works out well.

It does. I always dare when cooking and I´m a very good cook, or so my friends say.

I love trying new recipes. Some need no adjustment, some are so bad they aren't worth adjusting at all and some I do customize after trying them to get them where I like them. Add cornstarch to thicken it up maybe?
