Homemade dips

Dips are so quick and easy to make, and can be adjusted with whatever you have on hand. But a little salt, garlic and lemon, will never go astray.

You can serve with homemade crackers. Or veggies like carrot, celery, capsicum. So raid your fridge and see what you can come up with.

These are the dips which were made at the Sustainable scrumptious snacks cooking program. And over time I’ll update this post with more quick and easy dip ideas.
