Lemony Fruit Dip

This was a simple to make, refreshing summer snack for a small get together at our home. The only change I made was to add in some lemon zest (maybe a 1/2 teaspoon or less - I didn't measure), and I also added just a tiny bit of salt - two shakes - because my mom said I should always give a little dash of salt to just about anything I cook. I guess a faster way to make this would be to combine a jar of lemon curd with a container of thawed whipped cream. But as a bonus, I now know how to make an excellent lemon curd (at least that's exactly what the lemon mixture tasted like just before mixing it with the whipped cream).

I used meyer lemons for the perfect lemon taste...I also doubled this as I knew it was going to be a hit at our Healthy Super Bowl party...and I was right...the remnants in the bowl were eaten with a spatula!!! I served with strawberries and raspberries...AMAZING!!

Tasty recipe. I used splenda in place of real sugar and made layers of chopped strawberries and the dip. Pretty quick and easy, and a good fruit dip substitute if you don't have any cream cheese in the house!

I haven't tried this yet, but have it on my menu for a party I am having in a few weeks. After reading the reviews, I think I will add very finely grated lemon peel to give it a more vibrant flavor. Will let you know after my party, how it was accepted.
