Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 cup sour cream (low fat is ok; but I don't like NO fat)
  • 1/3 cup (2 to 3 ounces) blue or gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 4 slices bacon, diced and sauteed
  • 1/4 cup scallions, fine chopped (white and green parts)
  • 1 avocado, fine chopped (not too ripe, you want the dices to hold up)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, fine diced
  • Salt to taste (go easy as the cheese is salty)
  • Pepper to taste
  • Garnish (optional):
  • Chives
  • Black olives
  • Dippers (use any mix you want):
  • Honey or baked ham and proscuitto rolled up
  • Baked or roasted turkey or chicken rolled up
  • Baked or fried breaded chicken fingers (use your favorite recipe)
  • Small red potatoes, cut in half and boiled or roasted
  • Hard boiled eggs, cut in half or quarters
  • Endive or romaine leaves
  • Scallions
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Asparagus (blanched)
  • Celery
  • Roasted or steamed artichoke hearts (frozen baby artichokes are fine for this)
  • Crackers, pita, bread sticks, etc.
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dip ... Dice the avocado and toss with the lemon juice. Then in another bowl, add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Add the avocado and lemon juice and toss lightly, you don't want to "mash" the avocado. Cover well, and refrigerate 15 minutes, then garnish with chives and black olives.

  • Step 2: Dippers ... Obviously for the vegetables, I just trim and serve; the potatoes and artichokes I prefer to cut in half or quarters, then boil or roast (your choice). Proscuitto, ham and turkey (right from the grocery deli) are wonderful rolled up; baked or pan sauteed chicken fingers are also really nice. But there is always, pita wedges and an assortment of crackers.

  • Step 3: Serve ... Using a small bread bowl is a great way to display the dip or in a large fresh artichoke, then add all your "dippers" and ENJOY!
