This is a very good dip recipe flavourwise! It tastes fresh, herby and yummy! Mmmm! I found the consistency a little too thin, but it was still ok for dipping. Next time I will just reduce the amount of yogurt a bit and then itll be perfect I think. Instead of the onion flakes I used onion powder as thats all I had on hand. It was a very nice addition! I roasted my bell pepper in the oven and loved the taste it gave to the dip. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this with us, Sarah Jayne! Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #23 June 2010.

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it.
