Jolean's Simple Benedictine Dip

Submitted by Stacky5

"This was a favorite of my Mom's....We kids liked to dip Ruffles potato chips in this, but my Mom used to spread it on buttery crackers...Usually, after a party (specifically Kentucky Derby parties), the next day I'd see my Mom spooning this onto a little plate and eating it just by itself! So tasty....So fresh!!! YUM!"

Fantastic dip! I made this as indicated (but used 1/2 sour cream, 1/2 yogurt) at the same time as Stacy's Recipe #128394 for the Cook-a-thon in our dear friend's memory. Both dips are delicious, and even go very well together on the same tortilla chip. I can see Jolean sneaking some of this out of the fridge... mostly because I can see myself doing the same! It really is refreshing and versatile enough to use in a variety of ways. I'm thinking with some fish tonight. Better yet, right now on a spoon! Many thanks to Jolean and her daughter, one of the brightest lights not only here at zaar, but in all the world. XOXO
