This is your perfect dip for vegetables. I added fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill and thyme from my garden and it was delicious. The reviews are right! Your guests will be licking the bowl. It is so light and creamy!

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 friendly

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 us
