Credit where due: This recipe came from Heloise Cruse's column "Hints From Heloise"  many years ago. It's delicious and oh-so-low carb!

It looks really good Shanny.  My challenge is to come up with something low carb to spread it on.

That looks yummy Shanny!!

Wally, spread it on celery, scrape cauliflower or broccoli through it. It might even be good on steak!

Absolutely - it's excellent on crudités. And it IS good on steak!

Just be careful about adding the olive juice . . . add a little & taste. Some olives are too salty & adding the juice makes the dip too salty.

I'm missing my old computer because there were years of information on it which I've lost now . . . well, it MIGHT be lost. I haven't had a chance to have it checked if the hard drive is dead. If I can recover anything from the hard drive, I may be able to get my recipes back.

But there's a green goddess dressing recipe that's good on steak too. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else & bring it here.

(Never mind . . . it's already here! LOL! https://www.diabetic.pub/forum//index.php?topic=537.0)
