These savory Mediterranean dips will get you eating more veggies

It's spring, and this time of year, our collective cravings turn from rich and savory dishes to light, bright, crunchy fare. Farmers� markets are opening up and tender shoots are pushing through the ground. This is the perfect time of year to eat your veggies raw, so I have a couple of amazing dip recipes to share.

The key to making a great dip is to keep flavors bold and the texture somewhat thick so the dip clings to your veggie (or chip) of choice. Here, I took two completely different paths. The first dip is rich and tangy. It marries feta, which is a salt-brined sheep's milk cheese, with sour cream and mayo. That richness is cut with pungent garlic and a tangle of fresh, vibrant herbs. The feta dip pairs well with anything green, like thin asparagus spears or crunchy snow pea pods.

Squeeze in fresh lemon juice to add some zest to the tahini dip. Don't worry if you don't have a fresh lemon, a light vinegar will work just as nicely.

Just keep stirring! When the tahini starts to seize up, don't worry, just keep stirring and the tahini will smooth out.

Pair the herbed Feta dip with fresh green veggies and the tahini dip with vibrant veggies like radishes or peppers.
