Wow…it’s that time of year with Daylight Savings Time begun and spring right around the corner! We start moving away from our warm, savory comfort foods of winter to the fresh, colorful veggie platters we all know and love alongside our favorite dip. I just tried this quick, tasty delight out on a group of friends this week and just wanted to share the “Yogurt Basil Dip” with you as well.                          

Ingredients: (serves 6)

• 1 large, organic clove of garlic, minced
• 2 cups, organic basil leaves, stemmed & loose-packed; then finely chop
• 1 1/3 cups plain, organic non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup whole, organic buttermilk
• 2 oz. organic Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated to 1/2 cup
• Chopped organic chives for sprinkling on top of finished dip, if desired

Combine first five ingredients in medium mason jar, add lid to jar and shake vigorously until well blended.

Once well blended, place combined dip mixture into small bowl and serve with vegetable platter.
