Suji-Aonori Cream Cheese Dip

By mixing Suji-Aonori, Yoghurt, and Lemon together, you can easily prepare it at home. Autumn has plenty of root vegetables and tubers in season, all of which pair perfectly with dairy products like cheese and butter. Why not try dipping seasonal grilled vegetables straight out of the oven, or nutrition-packed Suji-Aonori? It will bring out the natural flavours of freshly grilled unseasoned ingredients. It’s perfect for hosting a party or your movie night.
