Helpful hints

• Dip stores well, which enhances cheese and garlic flavors. If storing for more than three days, reduce blue cheese and garlic.
• Natural, unprocessed sharp cheddar can substitute for blue cheese. Recipe limits the blue cheese to 1-1/3 teaspoon per serving.
• Other spices can be added to taste. Experiment!
• This dip is lower in phosphorus and higher in protein than many comparable recipes.
• Pair with low-sodium crackers, raw veggies, sliced apples or low-salt tortilla.
