All barbecued food is better with dips. A homemade dip is a great addition to your barbecue spread, and with no cooking time need, you can prepare them the day before and refrigerate them so they are ready as soon as your guests arrive.
Try some of these ideas for yourself. Remember to check out our Crispy Tofu Sticks which are the ideal veggie BBQ food to have with dips.
Guacamole
Ingredients
3 ripe avacodos
1 lime
1 tomato
1 red onion
1 fresh chilli
1/2 roughly chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
Finely chop the tomato, red onion and chilli (remembering to deseed the chilli) and put into a mixing bowl. Add the coriander, juice of one lime and flesh of the three avacados. Mash together until all the ingredients are mixed together well.
If you are storing in the fridge over night, place an avacado stone into the dip and cover with clingflim – this will help prevent it from going brown.

15oz tinned chickpeas drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Instructions

Black Bean Dip
Ingredients
15 oz tinned black beans drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons of black bean liquid from the same tin

1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
