WHAT IS ACCENT SEASONING?
Accent seasoning is a popular flavor enhancer that is mostly made up of MSG. It is often times found in the dried seasoning section of your grocery store and it can certainly be left out of this recipe if you choose. I have always used it in this recipe when I make it but I have also tried it without and it is just as delicious either way so feel free to omit if you don’t prefer the extra MSG.
MODIFICATIONS, IF YOU PLEASE ..

- Trying to cut down on calories? Substitute low fat variations for the mayo and sour cream to make this veggie dip a bit more figure friendly.
- Feel free to substitute fresh parsley for dried parsley flakes. I have always made this using what was in my pantry but you can certainly add fresh herbs.
