Low fat, lo cal, but tasty dips for veggies??
Need some fresh new inspirations! I typically mix in fancy spice mixes and some minced scallions or garlic into lite sour cream. Allergic to all seafood and hate bean dip!

Here's a recipe for veggie dip that tastes like the real thing, but with out the fat and calories.
1 - 16 ounce container fat free cottage cheese
1 pack hidden valley ranch mix (dressing or dip)
Put cottage cheese in blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour into a bowl. Add pack of Hidden valley ranch mix. Cover, and refridgerate overnight so the powder has time to disolve.
