This dip is delicious, easy and healthy! I made it for a guilt free snack, but liked it so much that I made it for friends. They loved it and asked for the recipe. I didn't use thyme. I used mayo with olive oil instead of reduced fat and romano cheese instead of parm because that's what I had on hand. Tasted great!
