CREAMY HERB DIP
Gina: We serve plenty of meals that are heavy on the pork fat-and we wouldn't have it any other way! That's why I like to balance out some menus with fresh vegetables and this classic creamy herb dip. It's also a great way to get my girls and (big Neely) boys to eat their veggies. I like to serve this dip with vegetable crudités: try red and orange cherry tomatoes, blanched asparagus spears and broccoli florets, fresh radishes, green onions, and carrots. It also makes a fabulous spread for turkey or ham sandwiches.

Immersing vegetables briefly in boiling water brightens their colors and makes them crisp-tender; it also lets you cook them partially to use in recipes later.
