Curry Dip for Vegetables

Curry powder does a lot of heavy lifting in this creamy, tangy dip—its earthy spice lingers just long enough to warm the palate without overwhelming it. Mixed into a base of sour cream and mayonnaise, the flavor lands somewhere between retro party fare and something you’d find on a mezze platter, cool and golden with just enough bite. Grated onion and horseradish add sharpness, sugar brings balance and a splash of vinegar pulls it all together into a dip that tastes as if it’s been thoughtfully layered, not just stirred.

This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your fridge door lineup. It keeps well, takes minutes to make and turns a bowl of raw vegetables into something you actually want to eat. Serve it chilled so the texture holds its shape and clings just right to a celery stick. Or, break out the potato chips—especially the thick, ridged kind—and then stand back while everyone happily reaches in.
