Top Tips for this Lipton Vegetable Dip Recipe:
- Making it a day ahead of time will make it taste the best, stir well once it has been taken out of the refrigerator.
- I tested the recipe with freshly grated carrots and with pre grated and found no significant difference in taste, so I chose to use the pre grated carrots to save time.
- If using pita bread, I recommend cutting the whole pieces into quarters and lightly toasting them before serving.
Equipment
Mixing Bowl
Substitutions
If you freshly grate the carrots I would recommend using a kitchen towel or cheese cloth to squeeze out the excess water so that the dip does not have too much liquid in it.
Variations of the Lipton Vegetable Dip Recipe:
- The classic lipton spinach dip can easily be created by adding spinach to the dip at the same step as the grated carrots.
- Christmas Holiday - Use spinach and roasted red bell peppers instead of carrots
- Add some more crunch with diced up water chestnuts
