Lonely is a hard, hard thing to do. That’s why veggie sticks have ranch dressing, chicken wings have blue cheese and tortilla chips have salsa. So where does that leave fruit? Lonely…until now. This creamsicle-inspired dip is most compatible with bananas, strawberries, peaches and apples. But feel free to play match-maker with any of your favorite fruits. Thanks to the dip’s light, waist-friendly ingredients, it’s easy to get swept away.
