Robust Dust Dip/Spread
A bold, smoky spread with just the right amount of kick — perfect for sandwiches, grilled meats, salads, charcuterie platters, French fries, or veggie plates.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
½ to 1 tablespoon Abraham’s Robust Dust (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or 4 Tbsp if not using sour cream)
2 tablespoons sour cream (optional, for a creamier texture)
Fresh lime juice, to taste (optional)
Optional Garnish: Lime wedge, sprinkle of Robust Dust, or a sprig of fresh cilantro
Instructions:
Steep the spice: In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream with ½ to 1 tablespoon of Abraham’s Robust Dust. Stir in and let it sit for 3–5 minutes to allow the spices to "steep" and release their deep, smoky flavors.
Mix the base: Add the mayonnaise and sour cream (if using) to the bowl and mix until smooth and well combined.
For an aioli-style spread, skip the sour cream and stick with just mayonnaise.
Balance with acid: Squeeze in a bit of fresh lime juice to brighten the flavor and balance the heat.
Finish and serve: Mix thoroughly. Garnish with a lime wedge, a light dusting of Robust Dust, or a sprig of cilantro.
*If you prepare this the night before, the flavors will have more time to marry, and your Robust Dip will be most flavorful.
