Promise when you’re done with this – not only will you bust out a bag of corn chips to go with the new dip you’re about to make, but you won’t need to spend any extra mullah on dips for future house parties. ALSO, get ready for some well deserved compliments on your awesome dip-making skills!
1) The Awesome Sauce Avocado Dip
The base in this dip is your avocado. Grab a few of these, scoop all the green goodness out and smush in a bowl. Make sure you mash the avocado properly. Next chop up some tomatoes (make sure they’re super teeny), some onions (also make sure you finely chop these) and last but not least, squeeze in some fresh lime juice! Garnish with a lime wedge for a lil flair and munch on some bread sticks with these. 🙂
2) Fresh Greek Inspired Tzatziki
This one is super easy! Pour some low-fat yoghurt into a bowl. Grate or finely chop some cucumbers, mash in some garlic and add lemon juice (avoid getting excess water in your dip so you keep that creamy consistency). Garnish with a dash of black pepper or chilli powder if you prefer a little more spice. Add some mint on top of your ready-to-go tzatziki and enjoy with some salted tortilla chippies!
3) Home-Style Hummus
You’ll need some chickpeas (aka chole) for this one. Grab some chickpeas and make sure you’ve pre-soaked them so they’re nice and soft. Put into a blender and add some garlic paste, sea salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Blend all together until you’ve reached a creamy consistency and pour into a bowl. Garnish with coriander and enjoy with some toasted pita bread or even some freshly cut cucumbers and capsicum slices!
4) Mexican Perfection
This makes for one perfect mexicana dip! Your base is your low-fat sour cream which you add to a bowl and stir and smush till you reach a smooth consistency. Then add some finely grated cheese to your sour cream. Add in any spices you may have in your spice rack like some mixed herbs, pepper and chilli flakes for flavour. Lastly add a small dollop of salsa and stir once again. Gobble this dip up with some nachos!
5) Cheesy Goodness
This one is so easy, you won’t believe you actually made it! Get a hold of some (preferably low-fat) cream cheese, stir it all up in a bowl, add in some finely chopped or dried chives along with some garlic salt, add a table spoon or so of milk (basically very little milk) and stir. If you’re a sweet-a-holic (like moi) instead of garlic salt and chives, add some sea salt and crushed pineapples into the cream cheese concoction. You’ll have an irresistible sweet and salty dip at hand. Enjoy all the creamy goodness you’ve made with some salty potato chips!
Enjoy and remember to spread the love! 😉
