Spring Tartines with Cashew & Caper Dill Spread
Whenever I’m not in the mood to cook I’ll toast up some bread and layer on a dip or sauce and tons of veggies. Simple and delicious! A few weeks ago I posted a recipe for Roasted Asparagus and Cashew Ricotta Tartines which are still a household favorite. However, I was inspired by a recipe from the lovely couple (Jeanine and Jack) from The Love & Lemons Cookbook for a cashew and caper dill spread. After whipping up a batch a few days ago we’ve happily been eating spring tartines almost daily. This is also a great dip to have on hand for happy hour with crackers and raw veggies. These tartines are great for lunch or dinner and pair really well with a simple spring salad and glass of white wine. I hope you all enjoy this easy meal as much as we do!
