Opa's Yogurt Dip

It's time for fresh salads from your garden or your local markets. This recipe has been in our family for the past 30 years. "Can't you make Opa's Dip?" My husband's father, who is 98...who was a farmer in the past, has also acquired some new skills in the kitchen. He loves to help Helen prepare the meals.
This is a one-low fat recipe that he has made himself. We use this for vegetable dips or pour the dressing over your salad. I just made a fresh batch to serve with our fresh vegetables.
It's salad time!

    I love hearing stories like this. I am looking forward to more and more veggies and fruits again. The season always seems to short! Kathy (MGCC)

    I make a similar dip using equal parts mayo and sour cream. But then I guess it couldn't be called Opa's yogurt dip. =)
