Fresh Herb Dip with Crudités
This was a "go-to" recipe for so many catering events; and it still is for just about any kind of get-together! The flavor is bright from the lemon, and all of the herbs complement each other beautifully. Make it several hours ahead or the day before to allow the flavors to marry. If you're pressed for a quick salad dressing, thin it with a bit of butter milk; it's delicious on a baked potato, too! You will find many ways to enjoy this dip, I have no doubt! It is easily doubled or tripled for a crowd.
