Dips are sauces suitable for dipping! Dips generally come in two key formats: single pots of the most popular flavours and ‘multipacks’– typically four smaller portions for parties. Dips can be vegetable-based such as guacamole (avocado) and salsa (fresh tomatoes and chilli peppers) or made with mayonnaise or sour cream flavoured with fresh ingredients (e.g. cheese and chive; garlic and onion). Traditional Mediterranean recipes include taramasalata (made with cod roe), tzatziki (made with fresh cucumber) and houmous (made with chick peas).
