  1. Fabulous and unusual dip that impressed everyone at a neighbourhood drinks party, and had them puzzling over what the main ingredients were. To start, I toasted unblanched almonds in the oven for about 10 minutes. Had to use white wine vinegar as that was all I had. Will make this often -- will have to, as there sure weren't any leftovers.
