And to accompany that, we have creamy, mayonnaise-based dips that each one of us loves. It’s like double-trouble. If you’re on a diet or generally monitoring your calorie intake, these dips would dip down your count. Here are four delicious dips that have a great taste and are low on those calories too.
- Hummus dip
Of course, you’re aware of the popular Middle-Eastern hummus and pita duo. A chickpea-based dip with a creamy texture, the tangy flavours of coriander, garlic and sesame seeds would blend perfectly well with a bag of chips or crispers.
- Beetroot mint dip
The beautiful red beets lend a great a base and colour to this dip. It’s a relatively thick dip along the cumin seeds and a dash of mint and lime juice, adding to it after blending a paste. Grab your tortilla or vegetable chips from that kitchen cabinet and enjoy.
- Beans smashed dip
This healthy dip is a chunky combination of beans, chickpeas and yoghurt. Seasoning the dip is a crucial step because the beans don’t have a flavour of their own. Blend it all and add some lemon zest for a slight sour effect. Carrot and celery sticks, swimming a pool of this dip can work wonders.
- Pumpkin dip
We know you made that face as soon as you read pumpkin. This dip might just be a turning point. Take some mashed pumpkins. Add coriander, green chillies and garlic and churn the blender. What you get is a great dip with a garnishing of black sesame seeds for your cutlets and fries.
