Not sure what type you are currently using.....

but how about the hummus that was posted a few back, or in the Favorite Recipes, appetizer section, the Salsa di Parmigiana?

 
The one I have been making is a mayo/sour cream base....

with mozzeralla cheese and spices. I am making the Salsa di Parmigiana. I serve that with toasted french bread. I do not think it would stick to the vegetables. This is my 3rd and finally last holiday party of the season and I am just searching for a different vegetable dip instead of making this one for the 3rd time. I will be serving red/yellow and orange peppers, carrots and celery with it.
Thanks for your help.

 
Sorry, that finger thing. REC: Crudites with Asian Style dip

This is from Bon Appetit. It's different and very good - better after the flavors have time to blend.

Here's two that you might be interested in.

Mexican Beef Dip


1 pound Velveeta cheese
1 pound lean ground beef
¼ cup chopped onions, optional
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce or RO*TEL tomatoes
garlic powder, optional

Brown ground beef and drain off the fat. Add the
rest of ingredients and cook till hot and blended.
Serve with assorted crackers, tostitos and veggies.

You can leave out ground beef if you like but it is good.

NOTE; I drain some of the liquid off Rotel tomatoes and add if it needs to be thinner. I like the Rotel better than tomato sauce but can't always get it in Canada.

 
Here's the second one.

Dip - Black Bean

2 15 ounce cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic minced (approximately 2 cloves)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder

Blend all the ingredients in food processor until
desired consistency. Check for salt

Serve hot or cold with warm pita, tostitos, cut up
veggies, celery, peppers, etc.

Top with grated cheese and/or sour cream, if desired.

 
Here's one we like. REC: Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I've served this at parties, and if you like hummus, this is a really delicious version.

ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS

Teamed with pita bread triangles and a variety of raw vegetables, this Middle Eastern dip makes a great snack or hors d'oeuvre for a dinner party. Tahini is available at natural foods stores and some supermarkets.

Hi KC - I tried this - it was pretty good! You're right - it's better after the flavors meld...

I forgot the fresh ginger, and added it later. Loved the zing that it gave the dip.

It was a little on the salty side, so I might cut back a little on the soy sauce, but loved the fresh basil and giner.

Thanks for posting!
