This is such a versatile recipe. I created it as a dip to go with raw vegetables (such as celery and carrot sticks), but found that it worked very well as a substitute for sour cream on mashed potatoes. A friend who tried it said it would also be good as a dipper for some seafood items -- just add some sweet chili sauce. Hope you try it and let me know how you used it. UPDATE: Thanks everyone for trying this for the Ready, Set, Cook contest. Based on comments, I have adjusted the amount of lemon called for in the ingredients. We love lemon and the original recipe called for 1 lemon, zest and juice. Decide for yourself, based on your taste.preferences.

Ingredients

Instructions

Put all ingredients (except milk) in a food processor. Use a whole lemon if you love its flavour, otherwise a half should be plenty. Buzz for at least a minute.
If the end result is too thick for your liking/use, add milk â€“ 1 tablespoon at a time â€“ until you have the consistency you need.
Serve as a dip for raw vegetables (or for any other use you can imagine).
