There is nothing better than surprising your guests with homemade, delicious food when throwing a dinner party. Dips are a great way to add variety to your table and make things more interesting.

These three recipes are really easy, quick to make as they only require blitzing the ingredients together in a food processor. Add some fun toppings and you are ready to serve them to your guests with fresh bread on the side.
