Versatile dip works with any veggies
November 4, 2009
Vegetable platters from the supermarket can make entertaining easy, but not cheap. A store-bought platter with dip can set you back as much as $1 or more per person. But vegetables aren’t that expensive, which means you’re paying a lot for convenience.
In about the time it takes to go to the store (and stand in line to pay) you can make this platter of nicoise-style creamy feta and garlic dip with crudites that will serve two dozen at a cost of about 60 cents per person.
The dip is extremely versatile, so you can use any vegetables you prefer or find on sale. As with any crudites platter, you will need about 1 pound of vegetables for every 5 to 6 people.
