Summer Crudites with Green Goddess Dip image

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).

This is a great recipe for a healthy snack or appetizer. The dip is also a great way to use up leftover herbs.

I'm not a huge fan of raw vegetables, but this dip made them so much more enjoyable.

The Green Goddess dip was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the veggies were great.

This summer crudites platter was a hit at our last party! The Green Goddess dip was so refreshing and flavorful, and the veggies were crisp and delicious. We especially loved the carrots and cucumbers.
