For a Garlic and Chive dip you will need:

• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup roasted garlic
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
• Coarse salt and ground pepper

Use a blender to smooth out the roasted garlic. Add sour cream, yogurt, and milk and process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in chives. Season with salt and pepper. Top with more chives if desired.

Dip and Spread Accompaniments

Some great things to go with dips and spread are crackers, chips, pita slices, pita chips etc but if your guests prefer something fresher, also offer sticks of veggies such as carrots, peppers, cucumbers, and celery for a more rounded taste and a different texture.

Place the dips next to the right accompaniments to guide your guests in their choices – for example pita slices go really well with hummus so place those near one another – if they decide to try hummus with cucumber sticks it is totally up to them, just keep it an easy to access area and let your guests have fun creating their own starters with various dip recipes!
