Unique and delicious dip recipe. I halved the sour cream and cream cheese, but used the whole amount of the other ingredients. Great flavor. Light with just the right amount of texture to keep it interesting. So good for a hot weather snack. Loved the way it tasted with the seasoned pita chips. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I'll be making it again.

Although I did follow the ingredient list, I cut back on the horseradish (using 2 teaspoons) as well as the chopped radish (using 2 tablespoons), & we were very pleased with the dip, using, as you suggested, the pita bread for the dipper! I think this would make a very nice addition to my finger food counter the next time I host a group! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for the closing of Pick A Chef event]
