Classic Party Dip Recipes
(Note - any of these can be made with lower-fat versions of sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese, etc.)
Spinach Dip
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach
16 oz. sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
1 packet vegetable soup mix
8 oz. water chestnuts
2-3 scallions
Thaw spinach and squeeze dry in a paper towel. Drain and slice water chestnuts. Chop scallions.
Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl, and chill for at least two hours to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve with chips, pita slices, crackers, or vegetables. For an added touch, hollow out a rounded loaf of bread, spoon the dip into the center, and serve with cubed, scooped-out bread on the side.

French Onion Dip
16 oz. sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 packet french onion soup dip
Stir together ingredients, chill until onions soften, and serve.
Easy Cheesy Salsa Dip
1 lb nacho-style cheese
8 oz. jarred salsa
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Microwave cheese and salsa together in a microwave-safe bowl on High for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave, stir, and return to High for 3 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Stir in cilantro, and serve hot with tortilla chips.
Pimento Cheese Dip (note - this is the dip version, not the classic spread)
1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese (yellow, white, or a combination)
4 oz jarred pimentos with juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Shred the cheese, and stir together with mayonnaise, pimentos and juice until blended. (Note - this will stain a wood or plastic, so use a metal spoon) Season with salt and pepper to taste. Chill, and serve with crackers, celery, or corn chips.
Kentucky Benedictine Dip
1 large cucumber
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 small white onion
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp sour cream
Green food coloring (optional)
Peel the cucumber, and either juice it with a citrus juicer, or grate as finely as possible. With either method, reserve the juice and set aside. Follow the same procedure with the onion.
Combine cucumber pulp/shreds, 2 tbsp onion pulp/shred, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, salt, and optional green food coloring in a bowl or food processor, and blend, adding cucumber juice and onion juice until desired taste, color, and smoothness is achieved.
Serve with crudité, crackers or triangles of cocktail rye.

Who in their right mind would post a sex message on a food board. A little more supervision by the web site would be welcomed. How stupid!
