One of my weaknesses (I have many) is store bought gourmet dips. I love them. They’re so good on their own, with crackers, vegie sticks, tossed through warm pasta, as a filling for a hot baked potato, spread on wraps for extra flavour, sandwich fillings etc etc. Sometimes I can get two for $5 when they’re on special but as the warmer weather approaches I’m going to make my own.
Black Swan has a range called “Farmer’s Best” which I adore. Some of the flavours include Beetroot Tzatziki, Olive Grove Mix, Roasted Garlic Hommous, Smoked Salmon and Avocado, Baby Spinach and Feta and Wild Rocket. All rather simple when you think about it. The base for most of them would be Greek yoghurt, cream cheese or sour cream. I realise that by the time you’ve bought the sour cream or cream cheese to make these dips, you may as well have just bought the dip. Using Greek yoghurt you make at home and fresh ingredients you already have will save you a little along the way and you’d know exactly what was in it.
I’ve gathered a few recipes from the Internet for the above.

They look fantastic Anne.
I might have to make some this weekend.
I also love gourmet dips. I could eat them continually! My favourite is guacamole but all of these sound wonderful, I'll have to try them!
Hi Anne – thanks for visiting my blog – you have a great site filled with lovely looking recipes!
I love the puff cottage pies!

I'd like to try that olive one-Yum!
I love dips too! I can have a whole meal just eating different dips (along with the things to dip in them). Actually, that would be quite fun to do sometime. Have you ever done fondue?
Love beetroot dip – pink food is awesome!
YUM! I am loving dips like this – these are such yummy ideas!
