There's a basic recipe for dip that you can dress up any way you like. 1 cup sour cream and mayonnaise. I don't suggest that you use no fat of either of these, but low fat is fine. You can add any of these to this mixture to make tons of dips. Just a reminder that the lack of preservatives and fresh vegetables and herbs in these dips make them very perishable. Don't make too many at once. Also, I use a food processor for many of my dips, but you can also put them in a blender.

Roasted Garlic Dip:

Cut a head of garlic in half width side.
Sprinkle with olive oil salt and pepper
Wrap in foil paper and roast in the oven on 325 for about 45 minutes.

Fresh or Sauteed Veggie Dip:

2 - 4 baby carrots
1/4 c. red onion
1/4 c. pepper (I prefer yellow just because it looks prettier)
Salt and pepper to taste

For the fresh put all the fresh veggies in a food processor and chop until a fine mince.

For the sauteed, dice all the veggies, sautee in 1 tbsp. olive oil until tender and mash in the food processor.

Onion Dip:

1 large vadalia onion
1 cup of chicken stock

Finely chop the onion and put in a sautee pan with the chicken stock. Let the onions braise until the liquid is nearly gone. For this recipe use a 1 1/4 cups sour cream and 3/4 cup of mayonnaise.

Roasted Vegetable Dip:

This is a great recipe because you can roast any veggies you like with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and blend in the food processor. The key is to make sure that there aren't skins on the veggies - the texture doesn't quite come together if you use the skin. It's easier to take the skins off after the veggies have been roasted. I have used zuccini, eggplant, onions, peppers, tomatoes, leeks. Any non starchy veggie.

Herb Dip:

Again the key to this is to decide what herbs you like and mix them in the dip in a food processor. Make sure you salt and pepper it well with a sqeeze of fresh lemon juice.


Okay away from the dip base.

Feta Cheese Dip:

There is no real recipe for this either simply because it depends on how dry the feta is. When you buy it in the brine it tends to be saltier and wetter changing the amount of olive oil you will need to add. Also the amount of herbs you use depends on your taste and the amount of feta you buy.

Mix the feta in a food processor until it just comes together with either oregano or parsley. I would say a tablespoon for each 3/4 cup of cheese you use. Then stream olive oil in the food processor until the dip becomes creamy and light.

Creamy Mexican Dip:

1 container sour cream
3 tbsp. cream cheese
1 small tomato seeded and diced
1/2 jalepeno pepper seeded and deveined and minced.
1 large shallot diced
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste.

Make sure the cream cheese is room temperature. Mix the sour cream and cream cheese together. It is a must that you do this first or the veggies will become mush! Then fold in the rest. Be careful of the tomatoes.

The Knorr's dip mixes are good...also try your local natural food store for other types of dips and use organic veggies - they make a big difference in taste!

The one I use most often is a mix of cream cheese and Paces Picante sauce in a blender. Blend until smooth, pour in a covered bowl to chill. Works with chips, crackers and veggies. Or if you really like you can eat it with a spoon. Use what strength of sauce fits your taste mild, medium, hot or extra hot.
