A Recipe to Take to Your Next Holiday Party

Wasa crackers have always been known for being a healthy, lower-calorie cracker choice. We recently got to try the company’s new line of Thin & Crispy Flatbread in three flavors: sesame, rosemary and original. And the verdict? Delish! Thin and crispy as the name suggests, they’re also the perfect cracker canvas for a number of snacks and meals. And because we’re in the throes of the holiday-party season, we thought we’d share one of those recipes with you.

This Acorn Squash Dip with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds on Wasa takes only 20 minutes to make from start to finish. And the colorful and tasty snack provides an excellent source of the antioxidant beta-carotene, cholesterol-reducing phytosterols, fiber and it’s low in fat. Take it to your next Christmas party and eat it up, yum!
