Serving Suggestions: This is a simple, handy recipe to make as you can use this “dip” to enhance your meals in a variety of ways. Use this dip for fresh vegetables or serve it with grilled asparagus or roasted or baked potatoes, add a drizzle to tacos, grilled fish, pork or beef, or add a dollop to a bowl of beans or lentils. You can thin it out with a touch of cream and turn it into a creamy dressing to toss with romaine lettuce, or substitute cream cheese for the sour cream and turn it into a spread for sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads or crackers.
