MAYTAG BLUE CHEESE DIP

1 cup light sour cream
1 cup light Hellmann's mayonnaise
3/4 cup Maytag Blue cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated onion
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic, very finely minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Fold the sour cream and mayonnaise together in a bowl. Add the blue cheese and fold gently. Fold in the remaining ingredients, and adjust the seasonings to taste. It is important just to fold in the ingredients, otherwise the dressing takes on a peculiar grayish color.

Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. The sauce will keep about a week.

Makes about 2 cups
