Snow Peas with Dill Dip

By Tod Dimmick, cookbook author and editor of www.tastingtimes.com

Crunchy and cool snow peas are at the farmstand (or in the garden) right about now. Their flavor is so good that my kids tend to eat them before they even make it to the table. But if they do survive the trip in from the garden, this is a good way to serve them. Serves 4-6

3/4 cup low fat sour cream

1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise

3 scallions, dark green leaves removed, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried Dill

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 lb crisp, fresh snow peas (oriental flat-pod peas), washed, stems removed.

Mix all ingredients except the snow peas in a serving bowl. If possible, chill this dip for several hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve surrounded by snow peas as dippers.
