A chili and cumin dry mix with parsley, onion and chives that stirs into mayonnaise and sour cream for a zesty dip. Keep the mix on hand for quick party snacks.

Ingredients

Dry mix

  • 1/2 cup dried parsley
  • 1/3 cup minced onion
  • 1/4 cup dried chives
  • 1/3 cup chili powder
  • 1/4 cup ground cumin
  • 1/4 cup salt

Dip

  • 3 tablespoons of the mix
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream or low-fat plain yogurt

Directions

  • Stir the dry mix ingredients together in a bowl, pour into an airtight jar or vacuum-seal bag, and shake well each time before you use it.
  • To make the dip, stir 3 tablespoons of the mix into the mayonnaise and sour cream or yogurt. Stir until smooth.
  • Cover and chill for at least 1 hour so the flavors meld and the dried onion and chives soften.

Notes

Dry mix: up to about 6 months in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Prepared dip: refrigerate promptly, use within 3 to 4 days; don't leave out more than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F. Use dried minced onion in the shelf mix.
