Benedictine Dip
Our friends Leila and Kevin invited us to their Kentucky Derby party. She served this delicious Benedictine Dip, which was invented by the caterer and?restauranteur Jennie Carter Benedict in Louisville around the turn of the 20th century. The dip combines cucumbers, red onions with cream cheese and mayonnaise. Initially, it was a spread for tea sandwiches, and over time, Benedictine spread went beyond sandwiches and became a dip for crackers and crudité. Here is the recipe - bit.ly/4aaTYDV
Tip - to take the bite out of red onions,?soak the onions?in an ice bath for 10 to 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
