Recipe Q&A

What ingredients create the two dips?

One dip combines chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt for a classic creamy base. The other mixes Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, dill, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper for a fresh herb flavor.

How is the cracker divider arranged?

Crackers are neatly lined between the two dips on the serving platter, providing a crisp, easy-to-access barrier that keeps the dips separated.

Can these dips be made vegan?

Yes. Substitute Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with plant-based alternatives to make both dips suitable for a vegan diet.

What serving suggestions enhance this platter?

Try pita chips, breadsticks, or sliced vegetables instead of crackers. Sprinkle chili flakes on the chickpea dip for an added spicy kick.

Are there any allergen considerations?

These dips contain sesame from tahini, dairy from yogurt and mayonnaise, and possible gluten from crackers. Gluten-free crackers can be used to accommodate dietary needs.
