Sam's Blue Cheese Dip

JLBurnell's Note:

Enjoy this with wedges of sourdough bread or potato chips for dipping. Great as a dip for colorful, raw vegetables like red bell pepper, baby carrots and celery or to cool down spicy chicken wings! estimated time.

Very good dip! I used fresh garlic, light sour cream, light cream cheese, and did not add any salt. Served the dip on sourdough bread and garnished it with strips of lemon zest. Would be *great* with hot wings! Thanks for sharing!
