At times, you get ideas from the back of some store bought packs and you decide to give it a try. The same happened with me, when I bought a celery(green stalks used in salads or soups) pack from Walmart. The recipe is adapted from there. You may alter it to suit to your taste , but for me and my family ,this was a perfect dip to be used with sandwiches or salads or Falafel. 🙂 It can be prepared three days in advance and kept in refrigerator without any doubt.

INGREDIENTS:
1. Sour Cream – 1 cup
2. Cream Cheese – 8 oz or 1 pkg (room temperature)
3. Crumbled Blue Cheese – 1 cup
4. Mayonnaise – 1 cup
5. Celery sticks chopped in fine pieces – 3 or ²⁄₃ cup
6. Sweet onion finely chopped – ¹⁄₃ cup
7. Garlic gloves minced – 2
8. Celery salt or Iodized salt – 1 tsp
9. Black pepper powder (kali mirch) – 1 tsp
10. Celery sticks – 3 to 4 (according to taste )
11. Silvered almonds (badam) – 12-15 (for garnishing)

METHOD :
| Preparation time : 3 mins | Makes about 4 cups of dip |

1. Bring the ingredients to room temperature. For Blue cheese, I used the crumbled blue cheese, but if you are using whole blue cheese, crumble it with a grater or cut it with knife in small pieces. Prep the onions and celery sticks. Chop some celery sticks finely and others in one third lengths or as your preference.
