  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Assorted fresh vegetables: cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks
  • Crackers and pita chips for dipping
  • Optional: sliced baguette or toasted bread rounds

Instructions

  1. Make the Avocado-Lime Dip: In a food processor, combine peeled avocados, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning and add red pepper flakes if desired. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  2. Prepare the Fresh Herb Yogurt Dip: In a medium bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, dill, mint, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
  3. Whip up the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: In a food processor, blend chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, and garlic until smooth. Add salt to taste and pulse to combine. Spoon into a bowl and garnish with smoked paprika.
  4. Make the Tangy Feta Spread: Mix crumbled feta, softened cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice in a small bowl until creamy. Garnish with fresh oregano or thyme.
  5. Mix the Sweet Chili Mango Salsa: Combine diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, sweet chili sauce, and lime juice in a bowl. Stir gently and chill until serving.
  6. Prepare the Board: Rinse and slice fresh vegetables. Arrange dips in small bowls on a serving board or platter. Surround with veggies, crackers, pita chips, and bread slices.
  7. Final Touches: Just before serving, drizzle olive oil over the avocado dip and sprinkle fresh herbs over the yogurt and feta dips. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Press plastic wrap directly onto the avocado dip to prevent browning. Most dips keep well covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours except avocado dip, which is best fresh. Use ripe produce for best flavor. Adjust salt and spices to taste. For vegan options, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and use vegan cream cheese.
