Blue cheese dip
This punchy homemade dip is crying out for some potato wedges or chicken wings for dipping. A great one for nibbles when you have friends over.
Classic hummus
This velvety chickpea dip makes a great addition to a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean mezze feast. Plus, making your own hummus is easier than you’d think…
Cucumber raita
This gently spiced raita is a speedy dip that looks fancy. Serve it with warm pittas for a great nibble or ideal starter. It’s also a perfect, cooling condiment for spicy dishes.
Beetroot, yogurt and lime dip
This vibrant, tangy, five-ingredient dip is ideal served with slices of grilled halloumi. Definitely one for your next BBQ.

Not only are these snacks packed with flavour, but they’re so pretty they could even act as table decorations. Simple and quick to prepare, the dip jars will become a family favourite in no time.

Hemp oil pesto

Harissa honey dip
This sweet and spicy dip from Persian cooking guru Sabrina Ghayour is a great idea for a middle-Eastern dinner party spread to serve with crunchy fish fritters.
Queso fundido
Layers of melting cheese and spicy chorizo make up this seriously OTT hot Mexican dip. Be prepared to fight over this one.
Blue cheese dip for buffalo wings
The best blue cheese dip recipe! This recipe for buffalo wings with blue cheese dip comes from Randy’s Wing Bar and they are addictive. To make an authentic buffalo wing you should use Frank’s® RedHot Sauce.
Cucumber with soured cream and dill
Our refreshing dip would go really well with some homemade flatbread. Salting the cucumber gets rid of a lot of the liquid and makes it really crunchy!
Korean dipping sauce for pancakes
We love this Korean dipping sauce, made with Asian ingredients to give courgette fritters a Korean-style makeover. This zingy dip is easy for a dinner-party starter. Make it a Korean-themed banquet with our Korean recipes.
Crab and chilli dip
We have paired our crab and chilli dip with salt-crusted Jersey Royals. These make a great starter or snack to serve with drinks. They are salty as you’d expect, so don’t cut any of the potato up as they will absorb more salt.
Dukkah goat’s cheese with homemade flatbread
Dukkah (which means to pound) is a dry dip originating in Egypt where bread is dipped into olive oil before the dip so it sticks. It’s also great for sprinkling on steamed or roast veg to make them more interesting.
