Method

1. Squeeze both limes and collect juice. We will be using 2 tablespoons worth of lime juice in this lime sour cream dip any leftover can be refrigerated for later use.
2. Now finely grate zest from both limes. This recipe requires 2 tablespoons of lime zest; so keep grating until you have enough.
3. Add sour cream, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of both lime juice and lime zest to a medium sized mixing bowl.
4. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine ingredients

Serving Suggestions

To use the lime sour cream dip as a dip; simply transfer portions of lime sour cream dip into small bowls and place on table along with a selection of crackers, corn chips, savory crackers, savories etc.

Soup Topping

When using this lime sour cream dip with soup it is best to use thick pureed soups such as pumpkin and pea and ham soup. If presentation matters then do the following:

• Cook your soup
• Ladle required serving portions into soup bowls
• Top with a dollop of lime sour cream dip
• Now use a fork to gently swirl the dip; thereby creating a really cool spiral effect.
• Consider garnishing with some crushed corn chips, parsley, lentils or sprouts
