Dip Recipes

[canasta]

I enjoy eating dips with lots of different veggies (crudites in France) but I find them an extortionate price for the small amount.. Does anyone have any recipes for making them please? Tesco and Safeway used to do some gorgeous spicy ones which included korma, cajun, lime pickle but have now discontinued them and the ones left on sale are quite mundane and uninspiring.

best garlic dip ever.....half mayo, half primula cheese and some fine chopped garlic oh and a little paprika....its fantastic!!!

Thanks oggy777 I'll try the garlic recipe. Where you say 'primula' cheese could 'philly' or supermarket soft cheese be used instead?

You could try just mayo and add your favourites eg, Lime pickle, grain mustard & honey or one of my favourites is mayo,curry paste, mango chutney and sultanas if you like them. Enjoy :>)
