We couldn’t decide on our favourite dip, so we thought to ourselves…why not list our top three in one go?
And here they are! Easy dips 3 ways:
Lemon & coriander hummus, tomato salsa and baba ganoush. All super easy, deliciously fresh and the perfect party dips.
We’ve tried to make these recipes as simple as possible, using traditional and easy to find ingredients that will take no time at all to prepare.
We’ve also made the quantities quite small, in case you want to enjoy the dips all to yourself! And we wouldn’t blame you…
