I don't know how to make it but we bought some Margaretta dip that you add to cream cheese. It is so wonderfully delish!!

Well I know how to mix it but I meant I don't know what's the the sauce part. It's tart yet spicy.
I forget the company but will look. They had a ton of flavors.. strawberry, mango spice, sweet&sour, cranberry, ect. But the Margaretta was the best!

My mom makes very goodliver pate and mede it for all the holiday gatherings.
I don't like liver but she would wake me every holiday to do the taste test.

This is really a salad dressing recipe, but I also use it as a dip for veggies:

Barn Door Garlic Dressing (Barn Door is a restaurant here in San Antonio)

4 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
4 cups oil (BD uses vegetable oil)
4 hard boiled eggs minced (optional ... I don't use them)
4 garlic cloves, minced
5 sprigs flat leaf parsley
4 green onions with tops, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped (with leaves)
1/2 cup lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper to taste

Beat eggs on low speed in a blender. STOP. Add salt and mustard. While the blender is running add oil VERY SLOWLY in a steady stream through the feed. STOP. Add lemon juice and the remaining ingredients. BLEND thoroughly. Place mixture in a container (that has a tight fitting lid) and add minced hard boiled eggs (if using). Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Add black pepper after it is chilled. Taste and add more salt if you wish/or more lemon juice. Improves with age/more garlicky! Makes about 1 quart

Does anyone have the recipe for the BLT dip? I lost mine.

[Pandabear]

My brother in law who is a fireman got this recipe from his chief and brought it to our Christmas dinner. It is wonderful!!! Sounds like a strange combination, but I guarantee you will love it.

1 pgk lemon Jello
1 8 oz. pkg cream cheese
1 small can tomato sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped green onions (include tops)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped reg. onions


In a boiler over medium heat, heat cream cheese, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, and Jello until the cream cheese is melted. Stir in onions and celery.

You can chill this and it will get thick, but I prefer to serve it warm with crackers.

Yummy!

I make this dip quite a bit. Note that you can also put the Rotel and cheese in a microwave dish and cook it in the microwave. Just remember to stir it occasional until the cheese is melted.

Also, try adding a can of chili to it before cooking. Yum!

Tried this one yesterday and loved it. I did not use lime juice because I forgot to buy but had lemon and added that. This was delish on those new Town House cracker that are cracker on one side and pretzel on the other side. I bought the Cheddar Cheese flavor and the combo with the dip was to die for! Thanks for sharing. I will make this one again & again!:basic45:
