Celery and cashew nuts dip

This is a dip which is unusual and always popular – I can tell because I often get asked for the recipe. The idea comes originally from caterers supporting an influencer event for the Danish jewellery brand, Pandora but since then it’s been tweaked, twisted and reimagined.
It’s quick and easy to make too.
