ABOUT CULTURED CHIVE AND ARUGULA DIP

Most dip delivers high flavor with little prep time. This one doesn’t disappoint. The key lies in excellent ingredients.

We want high quality cultured dairy with live active cultures. Also, look for plain yogurt and sour cream without additives.

Purchase fresh chives and arugula as close to when you make the dip as possible. Maybe enjoy a trip to your local farmers market and pick some up there.

Use high quality non-irradiated (organic, when possible) herbs and spices. We want the spices to retain their nutrients and natural flavor.

When I use black pepper, I use fresh whole peppercorns in most recipes. Grind them easily using a mortar and pestle and get a strong, excellent black pepper taste.

HELPFUL EQUIPMENT
Mortar and pestle – for grinding the whole peppercorns

INGREDIENTS

finely chopped arugula – fresh, consider adding this to your garden. It’s easy and fast growing
dried parsley flakes – dried but not old. You know how they end up buried in the back of the cupboard sometimes
