This dip is very easy to make and tastes great. We used it with veges and am going to try it with baked Potatoes. -
What a tasty spread! My chives finally emerged and were just lovely in this recipe. I also added some fresh thyme, which had come up even earlier. I actually used this on a baked potato, and it will be lovely with some veggies later. -
This is a nice, flavourful dip that is quick to whip up. With a bit more cream cheese this could also become a great spread. I can also see this being really good in a pita sandwich -
YUM YUM YUM...served this simple, flavorful recipe with fresh veggies and bagel crisps and I really enjoyed it. I liked the fact it was lower in fat than my normal "dip" recipes.<br/><br/>Congratulations on your Football Pool 2012 win!!!
