Everyone loves fresh dips...

...especially during the summer when they can bring a touch of the Mediterranean to your back garden.

They’re fantastic sharing food and great for getting a summer party going, but there’s so much more to dips than just dipping. You can dollop salsa onto burgers, serve houmous on the side with lamb kebabs, drizzle sour cream and chive over griddled salmon or mix it all up with salsa, sour cream and chive and guacamole with melted cheese and nachos.

But make sure you keep some back in the fridge for the working week, as they’re dip-licious in sandwiches too.
