This recipe was so good! I had put all of the ingredients for the dip together in a bowl the day before I was making this meal, but didn't have a chance to run them through the food proc. So they hung out in the fridge for a day, which ended up being a good thing -- I recommend letting this dip sit for a while in the fridge before serving, because the flavors had melded so well, the dip was so cilantro-y and lime-y. Just delicious.
We had this on Monday night, for our dinner playdate. It was a cinch to quickly whip up the dip and assemble. I had also chopped the extra cilantro the day before so I could just pull it out of the fridge and quickly sprinkle it on the baked pizzas before serving. I'm glad I had prepped a bit in advance, because the house was in a state of sheer mayhem with the kids running around and trashing the joint.
The kids ate mac and cheese and we moms ate this. It was delicious, I will absolutely make it again. I was going to add some cheese, even though the recipe doesn't call for it, but then I forgot and honestly didn't miss it at all. And here is the final yet-again-un-photogenic product: Still Life with Bear and Dinner on Paper Plate:
The only bummer is that I had a ton of cabbage leftover and no clue what to do with it. I should have looked for some recipes to use it up, but didn't and it all went to waste. Suggestions??

Hi Heide:
We enjoyed the recipe as well. I missed the cheese even though I added a scant TBS just..well, because.
As for the cabbage, I made a warm slaw with it the other night.
So there is 1. Coleslaw 2. Cabbage soup 2. Cabbage rolls...what are called in Polish Gwumkies? I KNOW I didn't spell that right but that's how it's pronounced.
The dinner was SO YUMMY!
And I have no clue what mess you are talking about. HA WOW those kids really know how to make a mess of EVERYTHING!
I linked over here from The Mother Load. Congrats on your Scribbler award! That dinner looks yummy.
I Mad-Men'd myself, too.
