Advantages: tasty

Disadvantages: none

There are sour cream dips available from supermarkets or from Gourmet shops. Dips can be good for slimmers if they are made of low fat mayonnaise, yoghurt and soured cream. I do occasionally buy a dip ready made. Tesco make some, a sour cream and chive dip is nice tesco’s cost 64p for 170g dips, and Pringles sour cream and chive cost £1.28p for 300g. These are good but its easy to make your own,
If I make my own my recipe is;
3 tablespoons Sour Cream
2 tablespoons chopped Chives
1-teaspoon Lemon Juice
pinch Salt.
Just mix it all together
You can vary this recipe by adding onion, parsley, mint or garlic instead of the chives experiment.

I also have a recipe for a blue cheese dip thats rather good.
150ml sour cream,
1 garlic clove finely chopped,
175g blue stilton cheese crumbled,
Juice 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
add a few snipped chives,
again mix a ingredients together well.

Home made ones may in fact cost a little more than shop ones as you need to buy all ingredients in larger than you may really need quantities,
if you grow your own herbs its a good way to save money,
chives are so easy to grow either in garden or on window sill
So you have your dip, dip away, you can dip breadsticks, crackers, crisps, chips or be healthy and dip crudities of raw vegetables, or fruit a carrot stick, spring onion, tomatoes cauliflower celery an apple, red or green peppers.
A sour cream dip makes a great starter to a summer meal or is great for parties.

Sour cream is a cultured fresh cream using lactic acid bacteria or by adding rennet. Sometimes if I am stuck without a bought product I have soured cream by adding lemon juice. Enjoy your summer dipping best wishes Mary.
