Prep Time: 20 min.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup mild salsa
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped or shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cucumbers
  • 2 tbsp. chopped dill
  • 2 to 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper
Tip: Depending on the size, you'll probably need 1 or 2 lemons for this recipe. Kids can roll the lemons on the counter to prepare them for juicing. Be sure to press down as hard as you can!

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Help kids measure out the mayonnaise, buttermilk, and salsa. Pour the ingredients into a medium bowl and stir until well combined. Kids can add the carrots, cucumbers, dill, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice to the dressing base, and then stir. Season the dip to taste with salt and pepper. Add more lemon juice if desired.

  2. Step 2

    Serve with fresh cut vegetables or use as a dressing over your favorite greens. Makes about 1 3/4 cups of dip.

Tip: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, place the dip in a covered bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator. It will become thicker after about an hour.
