Kitchen things you MUST have

I recently made this dip -http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Kendras-Creamy-Leek-Dip/Detail.aspx which you could easily substitute in yogurt. It went over well with friends!

1 cup plain yogurt 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chives, chopped 2 teaspoons olive oil salt and pepper to taste Directions In a medium bowl put 3 tablespoons mayonnaise and add 1/4 of the yogurt, mix well. Add the rest of the yogurt mixing well to avoid lumps. Add olive oil, chives, and salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until serving. Enjoy! I submitted this recipe but it is still in review, I love it because you can use lower fat ingredients.. the olive oil is a must, the mayo gives it thickness but you can leave it out.. its soo good!

I have found that using "Greek style plain yogurt works very well in any dip mix...it is thick and creamy. Most health food type stores carry it, i.e. Trader Joe's, Henry's (here in Calif.) You don't have to drain it like other yogurts to get that thick creamy, sour cream type consistency.
