Veggie Dip Recipe
Mom used to make this dip a lot when we had guests over. I used to just love dipping in the carrots sticks and crisp pita toasts in this yummy and healthy snack. I've been making it quite often these last couple of weeks. My only change and addition is the fresh garlic which makes it taste a lot like Tzatziki. It gives it a nice kick and hopefully wards off some colds, which we are so prone to at this time of the year.
