Very fresh-tasting watch the veggies fly off of the tray...

I made this twice and the first time, I followed the recipe exactly. The second time, I accidentally grabbed my cilantro and added it instead of the parsley. I was worried that I had ruined it, but actually I believe it was better with the cilantro. My oops turned out to be a great mistake! I also did grape tomatoes for dipping and those were a hit with it.

A really solid veggie dip. We don't love lemon in our dips, so I used a fraction of the recommended rind.

This dip is fantastic! It is so fresh tasting - great on veggies and chips. We doubled the recipe and it was just enough for a few people. For a party, I may even make 3 or 4 times the recipe.

This is my go to dip recipe. Veggies and dip can be quite boring, but I like to have these as an alternative to calorie heavy appetizers. This dip is so not boring! I'm making it this weekend for our Labor Day BBQ.

This is an excellent substitute for salad dressing for veggies. Definitely stick with a small clove of garlic - a large one was a bit too strong. Lots of flavor and great creamy texture!
