Favourite dips recipes?

[ieatmainelylobster]

Discovering my love of dips with thinks to dunk and on a plate of salad and as condiments. So far blue cheese (with chicken wings) , salsa ( with chilli) houmous( and pita) guacamole (also with chilli fajitas etc)

What are you easy dips!

Tzatziki. I make it at home with grated cucumber squeezed out, chopped mint, garlic, olive oil, salt and full fat Greek yoghurt. Goes well with ready salted crisps as well as pitta/veg etc

Sour creme and a packet of French onion soup. Not exactly health food but very, very more-ish

Just made tzatziki thanks to Angelic
I'm having a picky dinner, cheese n veg n dips etc. Made some salsa yesterday that I've got a little left over. Taramasalata is one of my faves too

Beetroot and horseradish, blitz cooked beetroot (not pickled but the stuff that is vac packed is fine) in a food processor with a good glug of balsamic and a sprinkle of salt. Then add plain yoghurt (fat free works fine) and a heaped tablespoon of hot horseradish sauce.

Roast some peppers. Skin them, then blend them with a bit of balsamic vinegar and basil

Mash some feta. Mix it with v finely chopped red onion and v finely chopped green chilli. Thin it with a bit of natural yoghurt.

Philadelphia on a plate. Sweet chilli sauce. Shedload of coriander.

Not a dip but great for eating with tortilla chips - finely chopped mango, red pepper, red onion, red chilli, lime juice and coriander

1/2 mayo, 1/2 sour cream, onion powder

Finely chop some black olives. Add about twice the weight in cream cheese and a bit of lemon juice and black pepper

Plain yoghurt and garam masala

These all sound amazing! Thank you.

@remus the feta one is top of the list. I ate the last mango but have a pineapple so will do a pineapple salsa.

I never thought of doing a pineapple version. Will definitely give that a go.

Half mayo and half Greek yogurt and mint, if you add a little sugar it tastes like the dip you get with tandoori chicken.

The beetroot one sounds good.

Small pot of Fromage frais/blanc/yoghurt, good tablespoon of garlic mayonnaise and some dried powdered lovage.

Greek yoghurt with a good dollop of mint sauce.

I've never seen dried powdered lovage in a recipe before, newtb!
I have some fresh, I could try grating it, or chopping the leaves.

I have made a garlic dip with cream cheese beaten smooth and 2 or more garlic cloves crushed, and chopped finel,y and added. Very moreish.

Will anyone ever eat shared food again?

I use yoghurt instead of sour cream and my guacamole recipe is just avocado, small amount of salt, tiniest bit of honey, lots of olive oil and a clove of crushed garlic and then just blend all of it 😁

Roasted aubergine and feta - blitz in food processor
Roasted aubergine, tahini and lemon - easy babaganoush

Jamie Oliver recipe - half jalapenos, half coriander - blitz in food processor. I add a bit of yoghurt.

Baba ganoush

Avjar (a red pepper dip I ate buckets full on holiday)

White onion dip from Tesco vegan range

There’s a Greek one with red pepper and feta in that’s delicious

Mint jelly stirred into yoghurt with poppadoms works well

Mint in yoghurt. If I'm feeling 'fancy' I'll add finely chopped cucumber and spring onions.

A 50/50 mix of yoghurt and mayonaise - add minced garlic for a garlic dip. Add spices for a spicy dip. Add dijon mustard for a mustard dip.

@CherryPavlova I don't share dips all MINE

My yoghurt dip for curries is:
Natural yoghurt - The thin stuff rather than the really good stuff
Mint sauce from a had
Pinch of sugar
Squeeze of lemon
Salt and pepper
Swirl of tamarind paste drizzled over

Jar - The mint sauce is from a jar. Stupid bloody kindle.
