Seed and Nut Crackers with Avocado Dip Recipe

We have topped them with homemade avocado dip. Another more decadent option is delicious blue cheese and a drizzle of honey. Vary the seeds you use — these crackers can be a good way to use up the annoying dregs you often have left in the bottom of a packet.
