Quick and Easy Last Minute Party Dips

Quick and Easy Last-Minute Party Dips

I’ve got several delish dip recipes in my recipe pack bundles that you really should check out if you love dips, but don’t want the additives that come with the store-bought varieties.

However, I thought I’d add this super-simple recipe to the blog that uses just 3 base ingredients you’ll usually have on hand.

This recipe is perfect for those last-minute occasions, when you need to whip something up quickly, and you don’t have time for a trip to the shops.

How to make these tasty dips

These quick and easy dips are made with a 3-ingredient  base: yoghurt, minced garlic and lemon juice.

Add a root vegetable, like pumpkin, sweet potato or beetroot, and that’s it.

Start by roasting about 500g of pumpkin, sweet potato or beetroot.

Or if you have a pressure cooker, you can steam them in just 3 or 4 minutes.

Cool the veggies once they’re cooked, and add to a blender with a garlic clove, a tablespoon of lemon juice and some salt & pepper.

Blend until smooth, then spoon into a serving dish – that’s it!

Variations and extras you can add

• Try half a cup of either tahini or cottage cheese, with half a cup of yoghurt. 

• Don’t like youghurt? Swap it out for sour cream. Or you can even do a half-and-half mixture.

• Roasting the veggies gives the best flavour, but they can also be steamed in the pressure cooker in just a few minutes.
