While fresh veggies are delightful on their own, pairing them with a nice condiment can bring out some of the best qualities in these crisp crunchy snacks. This Mediterranean Style yogurt dip is a fantastic companion for fresh vegetables of all types. However, the creamy, tangy and refreshing dip works especially well with sliced bell peppers, Persian cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. This thick dip also makes an excellent spread on fresh pita bread, sandwiches and crackers.
