My sister does one with cream cheese and sweet mustard pickles that I love. I also had one that used chicken soup as the flavouring. Very nice. Didn't really grab the recipes for either though. DOH! But they both sound really easy to make. Thats the only ingredients in both.
I fry up some finely chopped semi-dried tomatoes with some finely chopped onion & minced garlic, let cool when the onion is soft and then mix in with thickened sour cream.
Low fat sour cream or natural yoghurt, or both
Tuna, drained (can use flavoured tuna, lemon and pepper works nicely)
Grated cheese
Finely chopped celery
Sometimes finely chopped capsicum
Heaps of Lemon/Pepper
Frozen spinach (thawed and well drained), spring vegetable soup mix, sour cream and chopped water chestnuts. Sounds odd, but is actually delish and the spinach can delude you that it's healthy!
Also love home made hummus - whiz a can of good quality chick peas with mint, lemon juice, blob of yoghurt, a little garlic and finely diced red onion.
Thanks for the instructions for hummus, Ruth! I was just saying yesterday that i'd like my own because it can be expensive to buy and never lasts long!
I have an idea for dippers ladies...
Get a packet of lebanese bread, and cut into large chip size triangles.
Spray with olive oil spray, both sides, and sprinkle with lemon pepper, or salt and pepper, or anything really, maybe rosemary?
Bake in the oven until crispy
They last for days in an airtight container and are much healthier than crisps. Yummy too.
