Vegetable Dip and Guilt Free Chips

Having a holiday party this year? Maybe you're going to one and you'd like to bring something that everyone will love and you'll be able to nibble on guilt free and feel good about it? Well then, this vegetable dip is just what you're looking for. Pair it with my chips recipe, or rather technique, and you'll be happily munching the night away. Both are easy to prepare and the dip makes an ample amount for a party. I hope you enjoy.
