Summer is a wonderful time for food. There are so many delicious, fresh ingredients and the possibility of eating outside makes everything more exciting. For these reasons, many people love to host summer parties with a tantalizing range of food and drinks. Whatever you choose to serve as the main dish, people always enjoy the extras and sides and tasty dips are an ideal choice to include in the spread. Here are three which will bring out the best in your summer feast.
Tzatziki
A super creamy and fresh dip that is perfect to add to salads and wraps or to dip bread and vegetable sticks into. You’ll need to grate some cucumber, squeeze out the excess liquid, and then mix this with Greek yogurt, fresh mint, garlic, and seasoning.
Pico de Gallo
What could be better for summer than a fresh, zingy, tomato salsa? This dip is easy to make and can be used in so many ways, from a fajita topping to a tortilla dip. Simply chop up some tomatoes, jalapenos, and red onion and mix with fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Baba Ganoush
This rich, creamy dip requires a little more effort than the above two, but the outcome is well worth it. You’ll need to bake an eggplant whole until its skin becomes charred and then blitz this up with some tahini, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and seasoning.
