Ingredients

  • 12 slices bread
  • 4 ounces peanut butter
  • 3 ounces stone-ground Dijon mustard (or any other strong mustard will do)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 18 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup vegetables, cut into crudites (e.g. raw broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrot sticks, etc)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Warm peanut butter for about 1 minute in the microwave.
  • You want it warm enough so that it will soften and be easy to mix, but not so hot that it melt.
  • Combine warm peanut butter with mustard, sugar, salt, and ranch dressing and stir until it is smooth.
  • Refrigerate mixture.
  • Slice bread into triangles and arrange on a cookie sheet.
  • Lightly coat with olive oil and then toast in oven until golden brown or until it has reach a desired crunchiness (I personally prefer a soft crunch).
  • As soon as the bread is done, cut the garlic clove in half and rub it all over the toast.
  • Or you could skip this or use granulated garlic but I find the clove rub just tastes better.
  • Arrange toast points in an aesthetically pleasing manner on a decorative plate.
  • (Your family will appreciate the extra effort!
  • ).
  • Serve dip with the toasted bread, fruit, vegetables, and/or taquitos.
