LOL I like a ton of different things for dipping. Sometimes I just want butter, or a flavored butter. Other times, it is hollandaise, and even other times, it is aioli. Depends on my mood, or if I see a recipe or whatever that just seems like it would be good. So, even though I voted both mayo and butter, the list really is much, much longer. No allowances were made for that type of answer. ![]() Christine |

I make this with all lower - fat dairy products, so it's very healthy AND tasty. The lemon juice and red pepper flakes give it a nice healthy "kick", complements the richness of the dairy products nicely... The recipe is infinitely variable, it's nice for spring as it has the dill and lemon. I made it for Easter, besides as a dip I used it as a spread for ham sandwiches...you can thin it out with milk or yogurt and use it as a salad dressing...etc., etc....would go well with asparagus. You can fiddle around and add most anything: chopped black olives, diced red bell pepper, sun - dried tomatoes, some shredded cheese, greated parmesan, etc... -- Best Greg |

I do like butter, but growing up, we dipped them in a mixture of
mayonaise and vinegar. I have no idea where that came from, but that's what my mom did. -- Caryn Caryn Nadelberg - Mommy to Sam and Queen of the May www.carynen.blogspot.com |

One of my favorite salad dressings is a simply mayo and vinegar combo (maybe with a touch of tarragon) but I had never thought beyond butter for artichokes. Perhaps I'll give it a go. Felice |

Thanks. It's my "base" recipe for dips and dressings. You can leave out the sour cream or whatever if you don't have it and it'll still be good.. I use a very thin version of this (thinned with milk) as a salad dressing. Using the sour cream and mayo you have a Ranch - style dressing. I'm not adverse to adding bleu cheese or feta to this either... ;-) -- Best Greg |
