Guacamole, tzatziki, garlic dip and salsa

Dips are soooo useful :) carrots, cucumber, tortilla chips and a nice G&T...

Guacamole, I'm sure there's hundreds of recipes for guacamole, but we make ours with avocado, sour cream, lime, pepper, chili, clove of garlic and salt.

Tzatziki is fab with BBQed skewers and pita chips. Mix grated cucumber with salt and squeeze out all the water. It needs a good squeeze! Mix with natural yogurt, crushed garlic, salt, pepper, lemon and a wee dash of olive oil.

Not had garlic dip for a while but anyone who's into garlic should try! Creme fraiche, crushed garlic cloves to taste, salt, pepper, a little bit of mayo and cayenne (more if you like it spicy). Just beware of the garlic hangover!

Nothing beats homemade salsa! Chopped red onion, tomatoes and mango mixed with a little salt, pepper, chili sauce (or ketchup spiced with chili powder), red wine vinegar and oil. Yes, mango is perfect in this!

So go on, have a dip weekend!
