Why This Recipe Works
Supermarket and soup-mix dips have given the crudité platter a bad reputation. We were determined to devise a homemade dip recipe to rectify this situation. Our best dip recipes began with either a mayonnaise-sour cream or a mayonnaise-yogurt base for body, richness, and velvety texture. Then we added flavor-charged ingredients—the fewer the better—for maximum flavor with minimum fuss.
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Transfer dip to serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors are blended, at least 1 hour; serve cold with crudités. (Can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
