Horseradish Bacon Ranch Dip

This is not your average veggie or ranch dip. Years ago my Mom, sister and I were hosting a bridal shower. We made several things and we bought a few things. We had a caterer prepare a veggie tray and maybe a fruit tray. To be honest the veggie tray was the only thing that made an impression. When I picked up the tray it was loaded with lots of non-typical veggies and what appeared to be ranch dip. At least that is what I thought. There in the middle of the blanched green beans, red pepper strips, and quarter mushrooms was a big surprise. People kept asking what is in this dip. Well I didn't know. I thought it was ordinary ranch dip until I tasted it. It was most definitely not Ranch, it was Horseradish Bacon Ranch Dip! Oh my! It was so good! It was smoky from the bacon and had just a hint of horseradish. Since then I have been replicating this veggie tray and dip. I have made the dip with full fat sour cream, fat free sour cream and fat free yogurt. All are very good but I like making it with light sour cream. It is delicious and a little healthier for you. Trust me know one will know. They will just be amazed at the bacon in their ranch dip. I love the blanched green beans with this dip the most. I hope you will give it a try. After all football season is upon us and you just may need a veggie tray soon.

  1. This dip sounds so good! Dips are one of my serious weaknesses, I could easily go through a bag of chips and a bowl of dip in one sitting!!!!! This sounds delicious with all the horseradish and bacon!!! The perfect combination!
