Happy Friday, friends! I hope you guys have something fun planned for the holiday weekend. It’s not looking a whole lot like spring here in Colorado, but I’m sure we will make the best of it. I’ll probably force Zach out to grill even if it is 40 degrees F and raining. ;) He likes it. He just doesn’t like to admit it.

I feel like that because it has been so gross out lately, I’ve resorted back to my wintertime comfort foods. The slow cooker has been going and going around the clock, and I can’t keep myself from whipping up every soup in the Cooking and Beer archives. That’s ok though. I don’t mind celebrating Memorial Day with soup. ;)

So this warm pistachio cheese dip is a recipe I’ve been wanting to share for a while. I love pistachios. Ask anyone who is close to me, I go through like 4 small bags of pistachios a week. Costco can’t even keep up with my constant demand. They really are the perfect snack, but they are even better when they are transformed into a recipe. Crusting meat and fish in pistachios is a great way to put the salty nut to use, but I love them best in desserts and appetizers.

This warm pistachio cheese dip is so warm and comforting, but perfect for a large crowd. It’s seriously addicting, and even though those temperature are supposed to be getting higher, stash this recipe away for a rainy day. It’s a great way to warm up on a cold and rainy day.

Recipe is below! Pair this warm pistachio cheese dip with a scotch ale or wee heavy. I love the fig-like notes that you get from these two styles of beer. It will really bring out the flavor in those salty pistachios and that savory cheese. Have a wonderful weekend everyone! I’ll talk to you on Sunday! xo

  1. Justine this dip looks amazing! I never thought to add pistachios in a dip! Yummy idea.

  2. This sounds fantastic Justine! I’ve never thought about combining pistachios and cheese dip. Sounds wonderful!!

  3. Cheese dip with pistachios? You’re speaking my language. I love pistachios so much but I’m way to lazy to eat them very often. I may have to make an exception here!

    1. Hi, Mark. If the pistachios are completely raw, you may want to soak them. Otherwise, they don’t need to be soaked. :)
