Recipe Corner: Aunt Suzie's Famous Veggie Dip

I call it famous because she is not allowed to show up to family gatherings unless she has it in hand, and plenty of it! So when you make this, estimate how much you will need for the number of people attending your gathering and then at least double whatever you think you will need!
I apologize in advance for not having pictures up immediately... I will try to add those later...

You will need:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise (or, if you prefer, whipped salad dressing such as Miracle Whip)
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 hard boiled egg, (separate the white and yolk)

  1. In a medium mixing bowl (not your serving bowl), mix up the softened cream cheese with the mayo until thoroughly combined, no lumps.
  2. Sprinkle the garlic salt and onion salt evenly over the top and mix in.
  3. Chop up the egg white into a small dice, about 1/4 inch chunks, doesn't have to be perfect. Mix that in to the cream cheese mix.
  4. Now place the mixture into whatever serving dish you will be using. (I do it this way so that it will remain pretty for serving).
  5. Crumble up the egg yolk and sprinkle evenly on top of the dip.
  6. Serve cold with your favorite dipping veggies, such as, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, etc...
  7. Be prepared to give out the recipe, or keep it a secret to be sure you are always invited to parties ("so long as you bring that dip")
And I have always made extra just to have for a few days after the party to use up the rest of the veggies. Or I could sit and just eat it with a spoon. Yes, it really is that good.
