Helpful Hints

• Dip stores well, which enhances cheese and garlic flavors. If storing for more than three days, reduce blue cheese and garlic.
• Natural, unprocessed sharp cheddar can substitute for blue cheese.Recipe limits the blue cheese to 1-1/3 teaspoon per serving Other spices can be added to taste. Experiment! Lower in phosphorus, higher in protein than many comparable spreads. Pair with crackers, raw veggies, sliced apples or low-salt tortilla.
