Ingredients

Dip:

1 (3-ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Pepper
1/2 cup crumbled Roquefort cheese

Crudites:

Salt, for blanching water
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups cauliflower florets
3 carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks
1 red bell pepper, cut into sticks
Cherry tomatoes

Dip:

Directions

In a mixing bowl, beat all ingredients except Roquefort until smooth. Add pepper, to taste. Fold Roquefort in at last minute, stirring gently so as not to crumble the cheese too much. Chill for 2 hours before serving with vegetable crudites.

Crudite:

Blanch broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots for 1 minute in boiling salted water; transfer to an ice water bath to stop cooking process. Arrange vegetables on a round platter and place dip in a bowl in the center.

Delicious and made even Lower fat and less calories
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

the title of the review "dips are not calorie friendly" is misleading. It infers all dips are not calorie friendly...and a... lot are....it's just in how you make them. I tweaked this a little...using no fat cream cheese...and low fat blue cheese crumbles... still great...and IT IS...calorie friendly...and fat friendlyRead more

Dips are not calorie friendly
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

so when you use the headline or title LIGHTER, it would be apprpiate of you to include a calorie er seving & size of serving... at the end of the recipe. Although I can calculate this easilly, as a caterer, it would save my clients' time & nervousness as so many people are watching their nutrition yet like to indulge with something that looks decadent but isn't////Keep adding your hints for presentation -- they help all of usRead more

Best Veggie Dip Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thank you, thank you, Paula, for the most delicious veggie dip I have ever made! My guests were practically licking the... bowl, and it's the first time I've ever seen all the vegetables get eaten! I made the recipe exactly as written, except I used full-fat mayo and cream cheese (used light sour cream), and I served my veggies raw. Also, I made the dip a few days ahead, so the flavors were out of this world. Yum!Read more
