Dip Recipe

A dip recipe can be healthy or unhealthy. We like to snack and dips fit the bill whether for chips or vegetables. And dips and spreads make excellent condiments, snacks, and party food. What is a Super Bowl party without chips and dips?

Many dips are loaded with high calorie ingredients, salt, sugar, and other additives. Typical dips like French onion and ranch pack in a lot of calories. Some healthier options include hummus and white bean dip.

All the same, you don’t have to rely on store-bought products. At home, you can use whole foods to make your own varieties that are just as tasty but much more nutritious.
