Directions
- Combine all ingredients except pepper and vegetables in blender; blend until smooth. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon water at a time until desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings. (You can make dip a day ahead of time. Transfer to container, press plastic wrap directly on surface of dip to prevent oxidation and refrigerate until ready to serve.)
- To serve, transfer dip to shallow serving bowl; garnish with extra drizzle of olive oil, a few torn sprigs of dill and pepper. Place bowl on serving platter; arrange vegetables around dip. Serve immediately.
