Grandpa Gunn's Raw Veggie Dip

"This recipe will guarantee they eat their raw veggies! It is SO great! My grandpa 'invented' it years ago and we have been making it since! Anywhere I take it people want the 'secret' recipe!!! It's actually a simple blend of mayonnaise, sour cream and seasonings. It is best chilled overnight to bring out the flavor!! ENJOY!"
