I took this to a family gathering, so weight-conscious adults woul;d have something to snack on while the kids munched out on potato chips, Doritos, etc. Surprise! The grownups barely got to taste it! When the kids ran out of asparagus and green beans, they used chips and bruschetta to scoop up the dip! My sisters watched in awe-- their kids hate veggies.
We do use low-fat mayo to cut fat. Fresh tarragon is a must. Great for cocktail parties, Saturday afternpoon DVD-watching, *any* time you want a fast, delicious, healthy snack!

I served this dish at my annual Oscars event and it was a huge hit! I made the dip the night before to let the flavors mix overnight. Will definitely serve this again!
