Notes
- Sour cream: Prefer plain Greek yogurt? Substitute an equal amount.
- Celery salt: If you have celery leaves on hand, put them to good use in homemade celery salt.
- Fresh vegetables: Pile 'em high all around this Veggie Dip. Blanch your broccoli if you don't like that raw taste. This dip is totally delicious with crunchy snacks like crackers and pretzels, too.
- Yield: This Veggie Dip recipe makes 2 cups of dip, or about 8 servings, 1/4 cup each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use extra for future snacking or as a sandwich spread.
- Make ahead: Prep this easy appetizer a day in advance and allow to chill overnight for best results.
- Artichoke-fennel dip: Omit fresh herbs and mix in 1 (14-ounce) can of drained and finely chopped artichoke hearts and half of a fresh fennel bulb, minced. Serve with pita chips, crostini, or broccoli and cauliflower.
- Caramelized onion dip: Omit fresh herbs and mix in 1/2 cup caramelized onions and 2 minced garlic cloves. Pair with crackers, potato chips, pretzels, or cherry tomatoes.
- Salsa dip: Omit fresh herbs and mix in 1/2 cup well-drained salsa and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Scoop up with bell pepper slices, carrot sticks, or tortilla chips.
