Try onion soup powder and plain yoghurt.

Sounds nice, but I don't have either of those ingredients...

Hi Maggie Bob,

There was a thread on this a few days ago that should help so I've added your thread to it to keep all the suggestions together.

Just to add these quick ones I've found.

Cream cheese & chive = 1 small tub of cheese spread + 1 small tub of single cream + small bunch of fresh chives. Wash & chop chives. Mix together.

Raita = 250g tub of yoghurt + 1 teaspoon of mint sauce for mint raita, 1 finely chopped onion for onion raita or 1/2 a peeled cucumber, cut into 5mm (1/4 inch) pieces for cucumber raita. Whip up yoghurt until creamy. Add other ingredient. Mix together.

I've also updated my Salsa recipe.

FRESH RED SALSA

Enough for a large bag of tortilla chips

INGREDIENTS
1 small pack of fresh coriander
1 clove of garlic
1 green chilli pepper
½ a red sweet pepper
½ an onion
2 tomatoes
1 tablespoon of olive oil
A pinch of salt

METHOD

Wash the coriander and shake dry. Peel the garlic. Cut the top off the chilli pepper, cut it in half and scrape out the seeds. Cut the top off the sweet pepper, remove the middle bit with the seeds and cut it in half. Use half and save the other half. Peel the onion and cut it in half. Use half and save the other half.

If you don’t have a food processor, chop the chilli pepper, coriander, garlic, sweet pepper and onion into tiny pieces. Chop the tomatoes into 5mm (¼ inch) pieces. Put all of the ingredients into a bowl and mix together.

If you have a food processor, coarsely chop the onion, sweet pepper and tomatoes. Put all of the ingredients into it and process for 1 minute.

Leave for 30 minutes for the flavours to mix.

FRESH CHILLI PEPPER WARNING!

When you chop up fresh chilli peppers be careful and avoid getting juice on your hands. If you touch your eyes, mouth or other ‘sensitive areas’, even an hour after chopping them, they will smart and burn. So wash your hands or wear rubber gloves.

I've seen the recipes for raita, but does anyone have recipes for other dips to accompany poppadoms, I'd love to make the dips you get with curry at Indian restaurants?

If anyone's on Slimming World just use Quark, add some crushed garlic (and chives if you like) and a spoonful of Extra Light Mayo. Syn the mayo then the rest is FREE - leave overnight and the quark takes the taste of the mayo and the garlic (thanks peachyest!) - I've just had it with HM SW chips - fantastic! :j

Hello folks

I've made some spicy HM pototo wedges, and thought a dip would go with them, however, I'm stuck as I only have limited ingredients: lemon juice, Lime juice, Mayonnaise, radishes, carrots, oranges, apples, not much to choose from, but does anyone have any suggestions please?
