Fancy making these dips at home?
Here's a list of ingredients you'll need with step-by-step instructions.
Guacamole with a Kick:
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, mashed
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, diced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1-2 jalapeños, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Avocados
Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium-sized bowl.
Mash with a fork until smooth but slightly chunky for texture.
Add Fresh Ingredients

Spice It Up
Add 1 finely chopped jalapeño for mild heat, or 2 for a spicier kick.
Remove seeds for less heat, or leave them in for full spice.
Add Lime Juice
Pour in the lime juice and mix well. This adds tang and helps prevent the avocado from browning.
Season
Add salt to taste (start with a pinch and adjust).
Taste & Adjust
Give it a taste. Add more lime, salt, or jalapeño if needed.
Chill (Optional)
For best flavour, cover and refrigerate for 15–30 minutes before serving.
Serve
Serve fresh with lentil chips or as a spicy side to wraps, tacos, or grain bowls.

1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional, for extra flavour)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Soften the Cream Cheese
Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften. This makes it easier to mix.

Cooling Yoghurt Dip
Ingredients:

1/2 cucumber, finely grated or chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (or dill)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced (optional for extra flavour)
Salt and pepper to taste
Drizzle of olive oil (optional)
Instructions:
Grate the Cucumber
Finely grate or chop the cucumber.
Place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess water. This keeps the dip thick and creamy.
Combine Base Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, add the yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and chopped mint (or dill).
Add Garlic (Optional)
If you like a little extra flavour, stir in the minced garlic.
Season
Add salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each, mix, then taste and adjust.
Mix Well
Stir everything together until evenly combined.
Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes. This helps the flavours meld and the dip thicken slightly.

Serve cold with your favourite lentil chips or as a side to spicy dishes.
