This recipe is a refreshing change from the usual herb dips. Easy to make and the resulting quantity is enough for a large dinner party of 10 to 15. It was a big hit and for my guests it was somthing different from what they has been exposed to. It looked as refreshing as it tasted. It has a beautiful spring green color with a scoopable consistency. Thanks, Dave for the recipe and for demonstrating on your show the easy technique for preparing the leeks!
