Do away with butter and cheese and opt for the Wingreens Farms’ guilt-free butters and spreads that also double up as dips. Guaranteed to please all palates, we’re sure they’ll perk up your snack time! 

Salsa 

Salsa is just about that perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavours. The Tomato Salsa with its blend of ingredients like green peppers, onions and garlic is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Pair it with Baked Multigrain Flatbread for a healthy evening snack or as an appetiser at a dinner party. Make your own version of a healthy bruschetta with multigrain bread, tomato salsa, fresh basil and olive oil. This multi-purpose dip can also be used to make gravies for different kinds of pasta and rice dishes. Tomato is known for its high Vitamin C content which gives your immune system a boost. The best part? It’s an extremely low fat spread, making it a guilt-free indulgence. Peri Peri Salsa is yet another delicious food which you can try with creamy dip. 

Hummus

Sometimes you needn't look further than the good olive hummus dip for a healthy snack. Made with chickpeas, garlic, tahini and olive oil, it's a rich source of protein. It makes for an ideal, healthy appetiser at a dinner party or an evening snack. Hummus is best enjoyed with pita bread or Baked Pita Bread Crisps if you want to keep it healthy. You can also enjoy hummus dip as a salad dressing with your choice of vegetables and a sprinkling of olives. Wingreensfarms offers Original Olive Hummus, Rosemary Hummus, Peri peri hummus, classic hummus, Tandoori Hummus.

Fiery Mustard Desert

Some like it hot and for them there’s fiery mustard desert! It’s a given with hot dogs, but also goes well with grilled meat and fish. Try it as a spread along with your grilled chicken. Or, make a meal out of it by adding the grilled chicken and mustard in sandwich. It also works well as a dressing. Just add a hint of olive oil along with a dash of balsamic vinegar and your dressing is ready! 

Dill Tzatziki 

Dill Tzatziki is a much-loved Greek dip made with yogurt, dill and herbs. It's popularly enjoyed as part of a mezze platter. The dill tzatziki contains hung curd, garlic and dill. The dill plant's leaves and seeds are used as seasoning, giving this dip a distinct flavour. Since hung curd forms its base, it's also a rich source of calcium. This extremely low fat spread goes fabulously with carrot and cucumber sticks or with Baked Chilli Garlic Pita Bread Crisps.

Chipotle Dip

A perennial Mexican favourite, chipotle sauce is made of smoke-dried jalapenos. The chipotle dip is spicy with a creamy texture, making it a delightful spread for your sandwiches. It also adds a zing to grilled meat and vegetables, making it a must-have for a barbecue. Use it as a marinade or simply as a dip to add a robust punch to your meal!
