It's not the holidays in our family without Mom's bagel dip! I've shared this recipe on my blog a few years ago, and thought it was worthy of sharing again. This is an appetizer that my mom always makes for our Christmas family party. This is definitely not a dip that I make often, as it is far from healthy. We get it once a year at my mom's Christmas party, and then I make it once for me and my husband right around Christmas time.
My husband came home tonight and was thrilled to see that I had made a batch for him to munch on. I have to say that you probably need to be a mayonnaise lover to enjoy this dip, as the base is mayo and sour cream. The texture is obviously that of a mayonnaise consistency and you can't miss the mayonnaise taste in this dip. What makes it yummy, in my opinion, is the dill. It just brings a bright flavor that seems to pair nicely with the bagel bites. This might not be a dish everyone loves, but I don't know anyone in our family who doesn't look forward to this at our annual Christmas party.
Ingredients:
1 1/3 c. mayonnaise
1 1/3 c. sour cream
2 tbs. dried dill
2 tbs. dried parsley
1 tsp. minced onion
4 oz. of thinly sliced deli beef or corn beef
one bag of bagels
Directions:
Mix everything but the bagels together in a bowl. It's best to let sit in fridge for several hours or overnight to let the herbs give off flavor. Tear bagels into bite size pieces before serving.
Notes:
My mom always used original Budding Beef, found in the lunch meat section of the grocery, so that's what I use too. I can usually find it at Kroger.
