I WON'T TELL WHAT'S IN IT IF YOU WON'T VEGETABLE DIP
"Everyone seems to really like this dip. And unless you tell them, they can't quite figure out why it is so good."

1 pint sour cream
1 envelope "Good Seasons" Italian salad dressing mix (dry)
1 can white tuna, drained and flaked

In bowl, combine ingredients. Mix well. Cover and chill overnight. Serve with fresh vegetables.

1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 small can sliced black olives

In a deep dish pie pan or quiche dish, spread refried beans. In small bowl, combine sour cream and taco seasoning mix. Spread over refried beans.
