Bleu Cheese Dip

Credit for this recipe goes to Rachel and Aurora (and Twitter!) :) We made this Wednesday afternoon and have had enough to enjoy for 3 days! The figs really make the dip "sing" - we found them in the dried fruit section of the Produce department at Publix.

* ok maybe this isn't the driest white wine but it was a lovely and very drinkable Pinot Grigio!
