For those with an herb garden, this summertime dip is a bundle of fresh-clipped herbs in a delicate green, creamy sauce. Light and refreshingly herbaceous, the perfect dippers are garden-fresh vegetables, such as asparagus spears, baby carrots, radishes, zucchini spears, cucumber slices, and broccoli or cauliflower florets.

In the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, process the anchovies, garlic, green onions, parsley, cilantro, dill, tarragon, basil, vinegar, salt, sugar, and pepper until finely chopped. Stop the machine once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise, and process until the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
