We had our families over for a July 4th barbecue this weekend, and I made up this dip to serve before hand with chips and pretzels. I wanted to use the green onions, parsley, and cilantro from my farm share; the cilantro always reminds me of guacamole so the lime and jalapeno seemed like natural additions here, too. Next time I’d add an extra jalapeno.

My mom said this was the best dip she ever ate in her life. (Really, I think she was just excited about the potato chips!) It’s very fresh and cool tasting, and was a perfect beginning to our traditional cook out. I’d make it again to bring to a party.

Lime & Herb Dip

2 c. sour cream
1 lime, zested and juiced
4 green onions, minced
1 jalapeno, minced (or more)
1 large handful fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 large handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. salt (or more to taste)

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and stir well. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

    This looks really good! My brother and SIL are visiting on Saturday and I’m making chicken fajitas. I think this will be perfect for pre-lunch munching!

Moroccan Chicken Tajine: I recently had a chicken tajine dish at Fig & Olive in Scarsdale, and wanted to recreate something similar at home. This is an Ina Garten recipe, and she never fails me.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye. I find the xylophone haunting, and the lyrics are poignant. Love this track.
