Smoked Whitefish Dip
Michigan's smoked whitefish dip is such a delicious tradition! My easy, best-in-class recipe that includes labneh.
Spicy Lebanese Salsa

Yogurt Dip
Under a minute is all the time you need to stir up this wonderful dip!
Whipped Feta Dip
This recipe scales up like a dream and uses two basic ingredients.
Basil Oil
This gorgeous oil is wonderful made with fresh basil, but you can use any herbs you love, including mint or dill or tarragon, or a combination.
Labneh Green Goddess
Labneh Green Goddess makes a wonderful dip for everything from crudité to French fries. Thin your Green Goddess with more lemon juice or a touch of cool water to make a salad dressing.
Tahini Sauce
There's a must-know secret to making authentic tahini sauce and the answer is at your fingertips: ice cold water, an important ingredient to smooth out the naturally occurring seizing (clumping) that tahini does when mixed with liquids.
Olive Salad-as-dip
Olive salad can be scooped up like a dip with chips of any kind. Fabulous alongside a bowl of creamy labneh , Greek yogurt, or sour cream.
Mediterranean 7 Layer Dip
The layers in this dip are akin to classic 7 Layer Dip, changing the ingredients up with hummus, tahini avocado, labneh, olive oil and Mediterranean spices.
Tabbouleh Hummus Combo
Together these make a fantastic dipping bowl for any veggie or chip you like. Or: just a fork!
Hummus

Beet Hummus
Red beet hummus is both a beautiful and super delicious way to add color and even more nutrients to our daily hummus fix. Make roasted beets or use pickled or canned beets to save time. Serve the red beet hummus as a dip for a group or individually on plates for a great lunch or first course with pita bread, vegetables, or pita chips.
Labneh Dip
Serve the dip with fresh vegetables or pita chips, or anything you'd like (potato chips!). The dip will keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week (and tastes even better with each passing day).
Hummus with Spicy Red Pepper
Keeping homemade smooth hummus on hand in the refrigerator makes this come together very quickly and easily.
Fresh Mint Hummus
The color! The fresh flavor! Hummus as you’ve never had it before!
Olive Hummus
Briny olives with creamy hummus = excellent.
Red Pepper Hummus
Red pepper hummus takes roasted red peppers and blends them into classic homemade hummus, served just the same way.
Avocado Tahini Dip
Buy your rock hard and keep them in the refrigerator for a slow ripening process to avoid over-ripening, and then you’ll always have a couple of ripe avocados ready to go.
