Last week I shared my favourite pita crisps recipe. This week, I want to share the dip that went with it.
One of my favourite snacks is a good dip and some form of dippers - whether it be crisps, biscuits, vegetable sticks, bread. You name it - I'll love it. I would easily have it as a meal itself. The perfection of a snack like this comes down to the dip. Since arriving in the UK I have been pretty disappointed with ready made dips you find in the supermarkets. With the exception of humus and tzatziki, which I adore most of the dips have a heavy mayonnaise base, which I very much dislike. So I've taken to making my own dips, that way I can include all my favourite components.
This cheesy carrot dip is great because, who doesn't love cream cheese? Also it has a decent serving of veggies mixed in so its great to give this to Baby Girl as a snack. At 18 months old she is perfecting the notion of dip dip. It keeps it fun for her meaning she is more likely to eat it. She's fussy on the best of days!
