I found this recipe for a Dip for Raw Veggies in my mom's recipe box. I'm just going to say that this is a nice base from which to put your own twist on a veggie dip. My husband liked it, but I thought it was a little bland. As you'll see later on, I had to add my own twist to this one, and you can do the same. I don't know how long my mom had this dip recipe, but I would tend to think that people weren't loving things to be as spicy as we do now - at least how spicy my husband loves things, anyway. That's why I surprised at how much he liked this dip - he usually likes thing with some heat. Anyhoo - I think this will be a nice addition to summertime veggies, crackers, pretzels, whatever you can find to dip in it. This would make a nice snack anytime, or a beautiful platter to bring to a potluck!

Here is the recipe as I made it:

Dip for Raw Veggies

Mix together:

1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used light mayonnaise)

1/2 cup Miracle Whip

1/2 cup sour cream (I used light sour cream)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

I added 1 teaspoon black pepper and 2-3 Tablespoons of fresh chives here, but this is where you could add any other spices you like - maybe some sliced green onion or chopped red pepper - go nuts with whatever seasonings you like in a dip.

Dippers:

Any and all vegetables.

This is a basic dip - the ingredients are very simple.

While you're mixing, think of what you like in a dip and what you'd like to try in this for seasonings. The possibilities are endless!

My chives are just coming up so I cut a few of those to add, plus some black pepper.

The chives are a little scrawny yet, but they added a nice, oniony flavor to the dip.

Of course, this dip is great for raw veggies - hence the name - but we thought it was also nice with crackers.

A few more cut chives added for garnish and that's it! Quick, simple, delicious - yep - checks all the boxes for an easy, yet busy summer. Pack up a batch of this and throw in some bags of cut up fresh veggies and you're set to go. Make this as flavorful, hot, spicy, tangy, smoky as you want - the sky's the limit with this delicious and very versatile recipe. You're going to love how easy it is to pull together a beautiful platter and this delicious Dip for Raw Veggies!
