KITTENCAL'S VEGETABLE PLATTER WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip; in a food processor combine all ingredients except Tabasco, buttermilk and veggies until smooth (adjusting the processing time for a smooth or semi-chunky texture).
• Add in buttermilk, start with 1 tablespoon adding in more until desired consistency is achieved.
• Add in Tabasco to taste and adjust ingredients to taste if desired.
• Place the dip in a round glass serving bowl; cover and refrigerate for minimum 3 hours.
• TO ASSEMBLE; place 1 to 2 lettuce leaves in the center of a extra large serving platter, then place the dip bowl onto the leaves.
• Arrange each veggie around the edges of an extra large round serving platter, place bread sticks in between each pile of veggies to separate.

BLUE CHEESE SALAD DRESSING OR DIP (GREAT FOR BUFFALO WINGS)

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise and onion salt until well blended; add oil, mix again.
• Crumble blue cheese very finely, and add to buttermilk mixture; stir to mix well.
• Chill for 4 hours or more (to blend flavors).
• Serve with salads, as a fresh veggie dip, or spicy Buffalo-style chicken wings (my husband's favorite!).
• Note: when this dressing is first made, it will appear very stiff, however it will thin out after it chills for several hours, and become just the right consistency for pouring.

SPICY MOLTEN BLUE CHEESE DIP

• Scrape mixture into a small (1-quart or smaller) gratin dish or baking pan, and bake until dip is melted and bubbling, 30 to 40 minutes. Sprinkle extra hot sauce on top, if desired, and serve hot or warm, with celery sticks and chips or chicken wings if you like.
