Author Notes
To me this is the taste of summer. Garden fresh peas like sunshine, berries and apricots, just make me smile. This spread or dip is a green as the grass and is really easy to make. Use it to dip fresh vegetables or spread on crackers.
I use Greek yogurt made by the Argyle Cheese Farm, in Washington County New York It is the best I have ever eaten.
If you do not have Greek style yogurt you can put 2/3 of a cup of regular yogurt in a strainer lined with a coffee filter and let it drip into a glass for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Use the thick yogurt for the dip and either save the liquid for another purpose or throw it away.
