Recommend me some dips to make!

[bicentennial_baby]

Hi everyone! We're in charge of the Veggie tray for the T-Day festivities, and I want to make 3 dips. I've already decided to make Tzatziki, so I need 2 more.

But, they can't be too "far out", as the people eating generally eat dips from cans and whatnot. I'm trying to improve on that, but I want people to actually eat it too, lol.

:hi:

1. This one is fairly generic, but easy

1 C sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese
1 envelope ranch dressing mix
1 t. dill weed (optional)

Mix all and chill. Can be thinned with a little bit of milk.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

:hi:

3. Exactly the same recipe, but instead of dill add curry powder to taste.

Some like a little, some like more. It can very curry subtle or pack more of a curry punch. But yummy and always gets cleaned out.

2. Here's an old standby!

The first one doesn't have meat, the other two do. It's pretty much the same recipe with slight variations. It's a guaranteed winner, :hi: This swept the country in popularity in the 1970's lol!

Beau Monde Dip
Category: Appetizers

1 1/3 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
1 1/3 cup sour cream
2 tsp. Spice Islands Beau Monde seasoning (no substitute)
2 TBL. minced onion
2 TBL. parsley
2 (3 oz.) pkg. dried beef or corned beef, chopped
1 tsp. dill weed
large round loaf of rye bread with seeds


Mix dip ingredients 4-5 hours ahead or day before serving.

Hollow out loaf and fill cavity with the dip just before serving. Cut the bread from the cavity into cubes to use for dip. Be careful of the size of your loaf of bread. It usually needs a double batch of the dip to fill the cavity of most loaves.

Note: Get an extra small loaf of bread to cut up in cubes to have enough to dip.

4. Here is another favorite - Spinach and Artichoke Dip - YUM!

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hot-Artichoke-and-Spinach-Dip-II/Detail.aspx?strb=3

I've never made it myself but my quasi-relatives bring it to family things and it is just the best ever! I did buy a variation of this from Schwan's delivery. Nope, not as good as homemade.

:hi:

5. Honesly,

I am not making this up.

But there's a dip recipe on the side of the Knorr Vegetable Soup mix that is just terrific. I haven't had it in a long time, but, as I recall, it's just sour cream and the soup mix and an overnight refrigeration.

Edited to add the recipe that I just found!

1 pk spinach chopped(cook/drain) 1 c Mayonnaise
1 c water chestnuts(drain/chop) 8 oz Sour cream
1 pk Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 c mayonnaise
8 oz. sour cream

Mix all. Refrigerate 2 days.

I didn't remember the 2 days refrigeration, but I do know it's inedible when first prepared. Chilled for 2 days, it's great.

Of course, there is always the Lipton Dried Onion Soup and sour cream drip. I still love that one with Ruffles potato chips.

Oldies but goodies....................

9. Sad to say it but

I really love this spinach dip recipe. It's my number one favorite but I rarely make it because I';; eat it until it comes out my ears!

10. Knorr's Vegetable Dip

Oh, I forgot about that favorite - delish! :-)

[Arkansas Granny]

12. We've made this one before and it is delicious. The dip above with chipped

beef and cream cheese is always popular on our snack trays, also.

[Warpy]

6. My favorite was always really simple

it was cream cheese and cottage cheese, buzzed in a food processor until smooth, crushed garlic and snipped parsley with lots of cracked black pepper whizzed in at the end.

It's great on veggie dippers and crackers, alike, and it's low in calories.

I used to do another one back in the dark ages, bottled shrimp cocktail sauce, minced cooked cocktail shrimp, and cream cheese. It was especially good on dippers like celery.

7. Roasted red pepper dip

Take a small jar of roasted red Bell peppers, blend it with some minced garlic and yogurt or low fat sour cream. Add some dried thyme and/or minced parsley, S & P. Correct seasonings with some cream or olive oil.

[grasswire]

8. green goddess

1 clove minced garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp tarragon wine vinegar (or vinegar & dried tarragon)
3 tbsp snipped chives or scallion
1/2 cup snipped parsley
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
cracked black pepper

Prepare early in the day, whirl in the blender for a moment or just stir together. Let sit in fridge until ready to eat. Delicious with vegetable dippers, too!

11. How about some

hummus? Or would that be too out there for them? :hi:

13. I used to make this dip out of

yogurt cheese (you know the kind where the water is drained off of the yogurt). I think I've seen yogurt cheese for sale in some stores in the Chicago area. However, I used to blend it with garlic and chives. It's a very pretty green and tossing in some crunchies, like nuts or chopped peppers can be done.
