Arte - how on earth did you work out the peanut butter and beetroot one?...
Egg salad (more a sandwich filling than dip) - hard boiled eggs, mash with v good quality mayo. Add paprika or herbs
Yum
Can also make with onion added
4 medium sized carrot, peeled and finely grated
1 tbp olive oil
1 tsp salt and a bit more
1 cup natural yoghurt
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
A gentle squeeze of lemon juice
A sprinkling of sumac, paprika or garnish with parsley or dried mint, your choice
Method
In a large skillet, cook the carrot with the oil and some salt until just cooked through. Set aside to cool down a bit.
Mix the carrot with the yoghurt, garlic. Taste for salt and add lemon juice if needed.
Transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle sumac, paprika or garnish with parsley or dried mint, your choice.
ETA - best served with fresh Turkish bread but also nice with leb bread or any other bread you fancy.

I do a crunchy vegetable salsa and serve with natural corn chips for scooping:
- diced tomato
- diced cucumber (seeds removed)
- diced red onion
- diced avocado
- small tin of corn (or fresh)
- toasted pine nuts
- dress with lime, olive oil and sweet chilli.
Also you can't beat the classic sour cream and a jar of corn relish.
two philly cream cheese blocks melted in the microwave with a jar of chunky salsa mixed in. Once its melted and hot stir through a handful of grated cheddar cheese. Serve it warm. Soooo yummy and so easy.
I've heard it best to make the french onion dip the day before. It's a rippa easy recipe though!
My Man and friends love cream cheese/cottage cheese (I dunno, I just buy it in little tubs... ) with copius amounts of sweet chilli sauce stirred through thoroughly. If it's not for kids, I will add a bit of hot chilli sauce too, just for a bit of bite.
For dipping, I cut up flat bread and crisp them in the oven.
