CURRY DIP FOR CRUDITES
This curry dip is fantastic with crudites and/or chips. My latest idea is mixing it with my albacore tuna instead of mayo. Mouth-wateringly good. Tastes even better the next day.

SUMMER CRUDITES WITH GREEN GODDESS DIP
Is it a dressing or a dip? Who cares? Green goddess dressing, the beloved California creation, doubles as a dip for a summertime crudite platter. The creamy concoction is studded with chopped fresh herbs and scallions, and it pairs particularly well with the season's bounty -- here, baby carrots and yellow squash, tender peas and beans, and little tomatoes -- but let the greenmarket (or your own garden) be your guide. This recipe originally appeared inMartha Stewart's Appetizers (Clarkson Potter).
