Cucumber, mint, yogurt. It's healthy and delicious. I'm not sure if it's the same where you are, but here mint and cucumbers are everywhere, so it works perfectly!Saver Queenhttp://saverqueen.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-63154052871501315162011-07-09T17:30:05.293-07:002011-07-09T17:30:05.293-07:00I think I might try the muffin tray idea.

You don't need buttermilk (I use just a tsp of vinegar with my whole milk). <br /><br />http://allrecipes.com/recipe/no-mayonnaise-ranch-dressing/detail.aspx<br /><br />You can adjust the spices and amount of milk accordingly if you want a saltier/thicker dip.Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13367856410740693368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-65846598560484751642011-07-09T08:30:25.262-07:002011-07-09T08:30:25.262-07:00Susan--that sounds delicious!

Because Deborah Madison has a super-delicious one in Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (it's got mango chutney and curry powder in it, and everyone I know who's eaten it loves it).<br /><br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469299112021260475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-66713429334253618662011-07-06T11:28:49.091-07:002011-07-06T11:28:49.091-07:00What appetizing trays, I've been on a health p...What appetizing trays, I've been on a health push with my kids too, but now I wanna try the muffin tray idea!<br /><br />I usually make my dip out of sour cream with garlic salt because most of the ranch dressing has msg & the kind that doesn't is real expensive where we live.
