This is a really great dip. My husband and I had the munchies and didn't want to cook a heavy meal so this was our solution. Very rich and the seasoning was perfect. We also liked the crunchy texture. We spread it on wheat crackers and were happy as could be. Thank-you Manda.

I made this today so we could have something to munch on and my brother came over he and DH ate it all!!! I didn't even get a chance to taste it but from licking my fingers and from the clean bowl I would say this is delicious. Thanks, looks like I'll make it again and hide it :-)

Manda, Loved the crunch! I did change the cup of sour cream to 1/2 c. sour cream & 1/2 c. plain yogurt.Also, topped it w/ a little chopped chive and paprika. A wonderful fresh summer dip. Thanks for posting. Barb
