RecipesEasy Dip Recipes in a Blender
Dips are a great snack to have around. They work great for snacks for the kids, for the family, for parties, for friends or simply for ourself. I like to make a bunch of dips and freeze some of them so that I can pull them out when necessary. Most dips can easily be made in the blender or in a food processor. Below are some great dips that are easy to make and easier to eat. I personally love to throw all of the ingredients into my Magic Bullet blender and press on.
Salsa
3 cups tomatoes chopped
½ cup green or red peppers
½ cup red onion
1 tablespoon fresh garlic
ÂÜ cup lime juice
½ cup fresh cilantro
½ tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. ground coriander
Pinch of salt
Either dice all ingredients and mix or toss everything in the food processor and blend.
Edamame-Ginger Dip
8 ounces frozen edamame
ÂÜ cup water
1 tablespoon tahini
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or braggs
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 garlic clove
Pinch of salt
Cook the edamame then put everything in food processor. Chill in fridge for 1 hour.
Guacamole
2 avocados
ÂÜ cup cream cheese or plain yogurt
2 tablespoons onion
2 tablespoons cilantro
ÂÜ cup chopped tomato
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 garlic clove
Pinch of salt and pepper
Place everything in food processor and blend. May want to chill it for half an hour before serving.
Yummy Feta Dip
½ pound of feta cheese
2 garlic cloves
ÂÜ cup milk (I use rice milk)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Pinch of black pepper
Crumble the feta into the food blender and add remaining ingredients. Make sure everything is chopped into fine pieces and blend until smooth. Chill in refrigerator for at least an hour. This dip needs to be eaten within three days so as not to spoil.
Hopefully you can get as much enjoyment out of these dips as I do. They are all extremely simple and are always a hit at parties. I personally love to snack on them in between meals. It is nice to have good healthy snacks handy and ready to eat. Happy blending and enjoy.
