Wow your guests with our healthy holiday dips. Our easy recipes feature a world of culinary flavours.
When it comes to holiday fare, few are as sacrosanct as party dips. But too often the generous use of high-fat ingredients turns them into calorie-bomb concoctions that make double-dipping hazardous to your waistline.

Your solution? Arm yourself with a food processor and whirl up your own dunk-worthy dips chockablock with inspired, healthy ingredients that are easy on your taste buds and your midriff. Start with this collection of dips that are sure to kick off a soiree with a feast of flavour.
