Garlic and Romano Dipping Sauce

jonesies's Note:

Found in Good Housekeeping magazine, but originated in the "Not Your Average Joe's" restaurant located in Needham, Mass. Serve with crusty bread for dipping, but also delicious over vegetables. Can be used for salad dressing if you add a little balsamic vinegar. Very versatile!
