Steps:
- For the dried herb oil: In a small jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, bay leaves, oregano, rosemary, and red pepper flakes, then shake well. Season the dried herb oil generously with salt and black pepper. Shake again and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before using.
- For the crudites: To prepare the Belgian endive, just slide your pointer finger between each leaf and the core and snap at the base. Try not to break the leaves, though, because they will go brown pretty quickly. Cut the ninja radishes into thin slices. To prepare the romanesco, hold it in a large bowl with the florets facing down. Using a knife, cut off the florets, rotating the head as you cut and letting the pieces fall into the bowl.
- For the whipped feta dip: In a food processor, combine the feta, olive oil, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Puree until very smooth, about 1 minute. Season the dip with white pepper. Scrape into a shallow serving bowl. Drizzle with the Dried Herb Oil or olive oil and serve with the crudites,

Steps:
- Place Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, chives, basil and onion powder in Mini Master Prep Bowl. Secure top and pulse in quick bursts until Parmesan cheese is almost grated. If starting with grated Parmesan cheese, pulse until herbs are finely chopped.
- Remove top and use a spoon to push mixture down, away from the walls of the bowl.
- Add cream cheese, re-secure top and pulse in quick bursts for 15 seconds, until cheese and herbs are well combined.
- Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
- BOB'S TIPS: Just about any fresh herbs work well in this recipe. Try oregano or thyme in place of the basil or even 2 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning if you're in a pinch. Low-fat or even fat-free cream cheese works great too for the best low-fat dip around.

PARMESAN HERB DIP MIX
Another recipe from my "Gifts in a Bag" recipe book. Because this one uses parmesan cheese I never give it in a bag, or jar. I'm afraid the cheese will mold before it is used. Usually I give all these dips in a basket and include this one already mixed up and chilled in a pretty jelly jar decorated with ribbon and the recipe attached. I also include a couple boxes of crackers and some chips. Great gifts for a new neighbor moving in. Cook time is chill time.

FRENCH HERB DIP
Tangy! First you make yogurt cheese, then you use that to make the dip. A great opportunity to put your herb garden to use, though you can substitute smaller amounts of dried herbs if you prefer. The "cooking time" shown is actually the time the yogurt sits in your refrigerator. The recipe really makes closer to 1-3/4 cup dip than 2 cups, but the "yield" field wouldn't accept it.

Tips for Making the Best Herb Dip:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs have a more intense flavor than dried herbs, so you'll need less of them. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Chop the herbs finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the dip and release their flavor.
- Use a good quality sour cream or yogurt. The base of your herb dip is important, so be sure to use a good quality sour cream or yogurt. Avoid using low-fat or non-fat dairy products, as they will make your dip too thin.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese. Parmesan cheese adds a nutty flavor and richness to herb dip. You can also use other hard cheeses, such as cheddar or Romano.
- Season the dip to taste. Be sure to taste the dip before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers. Herb dip is great with a variety of dippers, such as chips, vegetables, crackers, and pretzels.
Conclusion:
Herb dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With these tips, you can make the best herb dip that your friends and family will love.
