Cilantro Lime Veggie Dip

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Yesterday, we celebrated Asher's birthday, and I wanted to do a veggie tray. Veggie dips that come with the veggie tray tend to be yucky, but I only have one dip that I love. It's Ina Garten's Pan Fried Onion Dip. It's delicious and takes forever, and well, I didn't really plan on a veggie tray until about 3 hours before the party.

I consulted a few favorite blogger cooks and my Better Homes and Garden Cook Book and came up with this.
