This dip is based on the Garlic and Herb dip in the Thermomix Every Day Cookbook. I find by adding a generous amount of fresh basil and chives lifts this dip to a whole new level!

I usually make the Herb and Garlic dip from the EDC. However as I have heaps of basil I decided to try this one. I love the added yoghurt. We all enjoyed the dip and I will be making it many more times.
