Mmmmm, this is a creamy, dreamy, spicy, herby, wonderful dip!!!! All the flavours play so well together and the texture is wonderful, too! Perfect for veggie dipping! I used the optional red chili pepper, which added a nice heat and thought the goats cheese came through very nicely. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner of a recipe with us, Pat! Ill certainly make it often again! Made and reviewed for Went to the Market Tag Game May 2010.

The sour cream and two cheeses blended were so flavoursome and creamy even though I had used low fat cream and cream cheese. Since I was omitting the red chile pepper, I added 1/2 red bell pepper diced, a small can of well-drained salmon and some dill in place of the tarragon which I use only rarely and had none on hand. The recipe provides such an excellent creamy blend, that I shall certainly be using it again to make other favourite dips such as spinach dip. Thanks so much for sharing this yummy and versatile recipe, Pat. made for Gimme 5.

Made for the *Pet Parade* event, we enjoyed this tasty, easy-fix & ingredient-friendly dip as a late afternoon snack when we were gone most of the dy & I knew our dinner would be late. I made it early in the dy using a reduced fat sour cream & mostly dried herbs. I did not have a red chile & felt it needed *zip* for us, so added 6-8 drops Tobasco which worked well. A generous chill time is ideal for flavors to blend. This dip can also be used as the *base* for an expanded & chunky Mediterranean version by adding diced cucumber, black olives & sun-dried tomato. Thx for sharing this certain to be repeated & get me creative recipe. :-)

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
