I was feeling a little peckish after lunch and remembered I bought the ingredients to make this. It’s so good! And fluffy!
Awesome! 🙂

Delicious! Followed recipe except left out dill. I probably added little more of parsley and chives since did not measure. So wonderful with veggies, crackers, and sandwiches/wraps! Thank you.
Yay! So glad you enjoyed. 🙂

This dip is freaking amazing!!!!
I cut the recipe in half since I knew it would just be me eating it. I also used 2% cottage cheese to cut the fat and used cilantro for my herb.
I planned on sampling it with carrots and naan crackers.
I devoured half of it! I’ll have to make more tomorrow.
YES! Love to read comments like these! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and rating. 🙂

I tried your recipe but it didn't work. I used a food blender instead of a food processor and the herbs just didn't blend. Would a Nutri-bullet work or if not what blade do you use with a food processor?
Any food processor will work. I don’t recommend using a blender. It won’t be able to catch everything.

Does it matter which blade I use with my food processor.
Thanks
A standard food processor with a standard blade will work fine.
