"I came up with this basic little dip recipe two evenings ago when I wanted a quick snack that would not pile on the calories. I found the result quite tasty, so am posting it here for you to enjoy, too. Have fun playing around with the amounts and types of spices to suit your taste best. :)"

This is flavorful and has a nice little zip to it. I was a little worried that the consistency was too thin, but it worked perfectly with the veggies! Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 50

This is just perfect for one person! I made this for myself while preparing for the Super Bowl, then decided to increase it for other guests. So easy to whip up, and the mix of herbs and spices was perfect. Have to admit I was surprised how well dill and Italian seasonings went together! Thanks for surprising me.

Just right for one person. I enjoyed all the different flavors with some sunchips. Thanks Loula! Made for the Australian Swap-Sept. 2011.
