WAYS OF USING
OUR DIP MIXES
DIPS -
The most popular way of serving our Seasoning Mixes is by making a
dip. The dips can be served with potato chips, tortilla chips,
pretzels, fresh veggies, and much more. All of our dips are made the
same way - one cup of sour cream and one cup of real mayonnaise. (Don't use Miracle Whip. It has too much sugar and dramatically alters the taste of the dip.) To create a stronger flavor, use 3/4 cup of sour cream and mayo instead of one full cup of each.
SPREADS - Our spreads are wonderful on fresh veggies, crackers, breads, bagels, steamed veggies, muffins, and more. Try them on hamburgers and other sandwiches. They are fabulous. Instead of sour cream and mayo, you make them with sour cream and cream cheese or all cream cheese for a thicker spread.
CHEESE BALLS - A savory cheese ball can be made from all of our seasoning mixes. Just use 16 oz. of cream cheese. As an option, you may roll the cheese ball in crushed nuts, bacon pieces (cut up real bacon, not imitation bacon bits), chives, etc. Refrigerate for four hours. Serve with crackers, crusty breads, cucumber slices, stuffed celery and bagels.
SALAD DRESSINGS - All of our seasoning mixes can be made into sensational salad dressings. Just make the dip recipe (sour cream and mayo). It will be thick at this point. If you want to thin it slightly, add a teaspoon of milk or cream. To create a stronger flavor, use 3/4 cup of sour cream and mayo instead of one full cup of each. Let the flavors blend in the fridge for a couple of hours at least.
TIPS FOR USING OUR DIP RECIPES!
LET THE FLAVORS BLEND -
The longer you let them stay in the refrigerator before using them, the
better the flavors blend. Several hours is fine. Overnight is best.
LIGHT VERSIONS - Feel free to use fat free or light versions of the sour cream, cream cheese and mayonnaise used in these recipies.
BEST SELLERS - Garlic Lover is our best seller by far. Then it's Mesquite, and then it's Spicy Jalapeno! Use the dip version of Garlic Lover to flavor Garlic Mashed Potatos and steamed vegetables.
ON BAKED POTATOES - Many of our dips are wonderful on baked potatos. So much better than just plain old sour cream.
WONDERFUL MEXICAN DISHES - Mexican dishes such as burritos, enchiladas, and tacos are a natural for many of our dips.
PASTA, CHICKEN OR TUNA SALAD - Want a unique flavored pasta salad? Or chicken or tuna salad. Flavor them with our prepared dip instead of mayo or other salad dressing. Wow! What a delicious difference.
