3 Healthy + Homemade Chip Dips

One of the sneakiest ways to blend in health benefits is through homemade dips. Where texture meets taste, dips are ideal to prepare for a quick snack, dinner party side, salad dressing or sauce. Our three best dip recipes below are ready to be pulsed to perfection, starting with just a food processor. —Julia Dumbrell

The Detox Dip: White Bean Medley

A fibre-packed powerhouse, we lovingly refer to this white bean-dominant dip as ‘the detox dip’. To make it from scratch, simply pulse cooked cannellini beans with a generous dash of olive oil, lemon just, salt, pepper and a garlic clove. Slowly add in water and desired herbs as the food processor mixes, pulsing until the dip achieves a dreamy texture.

Heart Forward Dip: Olive Tapenade

In a food processor, combine a mix of Kalamata and green olives with oil-packed sun dried tomatoes, capers, lemon juice, and a clove of garlic. Pulse to combine, then add sprigs of fresh basil or parsley. The final Mediterranean medley is delightful on a baguette or crackers, with olive-forward ingredients that are ideal for heart health and blood sugar levels.

Dip Back in Time: Green Goddess Dressing

Start with one cup of Greek yogurt in the food processor, combining with generous handfuls of parsley, mixed herbs and chives. Pulsing until well combined with lemon juice, olive oil, capers and garlic, this green-packed dip supports immune health and makes a delicious dressing for the ages.
