Ingredients

1 pound cheddar cheese block sharp*
1 & 1/2 cups mayonnaise
4 ounces pimientos chopped and drained
1 tablespoon parsley chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1 box Almond Blue Diamond Nut-Thins

Instructions

Finely shred the cheese. I mean it here, don't use the big grater.
Combine all ingredients (except the crackers) in a big bowl. Adjust cayenne and dijon to taste.
Serve room temperature or chilled with the perfectly dip-able Almond Blue Diamond Nut-Thins.

Notes

*Don't use pre-shredded cheese. Shredded cheese is coated with flour-y stuff so that it doesn't stick together, which means it won't stick together as well in your dip.
