  • how about a tomato salsa? You could use a tin of value chopped toms and just add any other bits you have (bit of chopped onion, pepper, herbs)

    the easiest and cheapest one i know is minted mayo......just add a teaspoon or so to a couple of tablespoons of mayo - and the cheapest jar mint you can find works the best.
    I also like philadelphia (or store brand) cream cheese mixed with finely chopped chives and a tablespoon of mayo to 'slacken' it.
    or philly with a little crushed garlic, some finely chopped fresh herbs and the tablespoon of mayo.
    my version of marie rose sauce is
    A couple tablespoons of mayo
    a couple tablespoons of salad cream
    a tablespoon of tomato ketchup
    salt and pepper
    dash of worstershire sauce
    mixed well and served with either king prawns or crabsticks _ or any other seafood really.

    A tub of cream cheese with garlic to taste, 1/2 sachet of onion sauce and milk to thin it a bit.
    I used to work in a pub and the landlord put a few nibbles on the bar on Sundays. This always went down well with crackers and celery sticks.
  • Mayo with curry powder and a little sugar leave for at least an hour in the fridge for the curry to develop.

    Mayo with 5 spice.

    Onions softened in oil till very very soft, puree. Yummy.
    Put the kettle on. ;)

    I use mayo as well, mixed with whatever savory herbs you fancy.

    Hi lucylema,

    As your thread has dropped from the first page of the Old Style board I've added it to the existing thread on homemade dips which should give you some more ideas.

    Yoghurt with various things in to flavour - mint and cucumber, finey chopped onion, tom and some cumin seeds

    Salsa - chopped onion, chilli, whizzed tinned or fresh toms, squeeze of lime and lots of corriander

    A lovely med style dip for veg sticks is cream cheese and a dollop of pesto

    beany dip of tinned kidney beans, chilli, cumin and garlic and lemon juice - like a text mex humous!
