Lately, the local farmer ‘s market is filled with a bounty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Broccoli, carrots, and celery, are all quite inexpensive and take little effort to prepare for a quick summer snack. My own garden is coming along well but not quite ready to harvest. Looking over my plants, I see that the cucumbers, squash, celery, and tomatoes are all doing well but have a long way to go before they will be ready for picking. Thanks to soft, plentiful rain showers and lots of sunshine, this year’s garden looks strong and healthy. Although, last year’s garden was a complete flop. The drought in my area caused many gardeners to give up on the garden all together. I pulled out this recipe today as I am sure we will be reaping the benefits of our labor soon. I really enjoy the taste of this dip compared to that of the store bought powdered mix. All of the ingredients are common pantry items and the dip can be thrown together with little effort. It’s smooth, creamy, and flavorful and can be used on salads, for chips, or as a vegetable dip.
Garden Fresh Vegetable Dip
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/2teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Whisk all ingredients together in a medium bowl. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving. Great for chips and vegetables.
This looks absolutely scrumptious!

I love that it tastes great without having to purchase the pricey packets of ranch powdered mix. Made from basics that you probably have in your pantry. I hope you try it, Dani!

This flavorful, fun dip would be good with low-fat Greek yogurt, too. MMM.

Yes, Shanna, I have used LF Greek yogurt as well. I usually run to the market to stock up on fresh veggies and make a batch of this dip for the weekend. M takes it in her lunch box with carrots and celery. YUM! Thanks for your comment, Shanna — Hope your enjoying your day!
