Has anyone made the Garden Dip from the "All The Best" cookbook? I was thinking of having veggies and dip as an extra recipe for my June shows so I can show off the Chillzanne servers. I want a veggie dip that is more complex than just sour cream, mayonnaise and seasoning. Any suggestions?

tia,

Yes, and great way to show off the Chillzanne!
 
Oh, it is SOOO good!

I also love the dill dip--1 part mayo, 1 part sour cream, and our All Purpose Dill Mix!

Thanks for your help ladies. Great advice as always. A simple dip that is great with potato chips or nachos is the Sweet and Smoky Barbecue Rub mixed with mayo and sour cream.
 
Yummy, how much sweet&smoky bbq rub do you use for that recipe?

Combine ingredients in medium bowl; mix well. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour to allow flavors to blend. Serve with assorted fresh vegetables, pretzels or potato chips, if desired. Yield 2 cups.
