If you're like me, you're always interested in finding an appetizer that is both quick and yes, appetizing! I'm also grateful if it only has a few ingredients that I can remember while I'm at the market on the way home! This white cheddar dip is exactly that - 5 ingredients - quick and delicious. If you have tree nut allergies, simply omit the walnuts - it will still be wonderful. The pairing of sharp white cheddar with just a bit of cayenne pepper gives it a savory kick. And, speaking of pairings, this dip is fantastic for a wine tasting - whether you're serving whites or reds -

. . . or a tailgate, . . . or a pool party, . . . or impressing your friends at a potluck -- you get the idea!
