10 mL dried dill 2 tsp
10 mL dried minced onion flakes salt and pepper to taste 2 tsp

Choose a large serving platter. Wash and prepare all vegetables. Arrange attractively on platter. Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

To make dip, combine all ingredients and blend well. Allow to sit in refrigerator for at least 1 hour for flavours to develop.

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and yogurt and stir together until evenly blended. Add curry paste to taste. Add to broccoli mixture and gently fold to evenly coat. Spoon into a serving bowl lined with leafy lettuce and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for no more than two hours before serving or mixture may become slightly watery.
