This is my staple salad dressing for summer lettuce but it's also delicious in the winter over potatoes.

Houmous
Good houmous is all about the texture - it's got to be smooth - not thick and gloopy. And that means getting your hands on a good blender and using the water from the boiled chick peas to smooth out the lumps.

Mayonnaise
Okay, you can buy it in a jar and it tastes pretty good - but with a big pile of hot chips, nothing cuts the mustard quite like home-made mayonnaise.

Olive oil and balsamic vinegar dip
Okay - this seems a tad obvious but it's a good one to remember when the fridge is empty of toppings. Use good quality oil or one that's flavoured with garlic and herbs.

This beetroot chutney is brilliant for the end of season beetroots and the last of the apples.
You can eat it straight away but it's best it you let if mature for a couple of months.

Roasted carrot and carroway dip
Granted this recipe sounds a bit weird - but I guarantee its more than moorish. And it's a great lunchbox filler - or mid-morning snack.
