Dips are an important part of every snack, charcuterie board, lunch, and party tray: but ketchup is played out and boring. Although you can still have some love for that red sauce, it’s normal to want to try something new and exciting when you’re dipping fries.
These are the top dips that don’t require tomatoes: and why they’re so popular with their fans! You’ll fall in love with these flavors in no time!
Spicy Mustard
Mustard falls in and out of popularity every couple of years, but this awesome sauce shouldn’t be overlooked! Not only is it fantastic for your health, low in calories, and awesome for gut health: but it’s also delicious! The spunky rich flavor is awesome on everything from celery to chips, meats, and more. The flavor will keep you coming back for more, and you don’t have to worry about it ever getting too sweet the way ketchup does!
Fry Sauce
Fry sauce was first popularized at fast food restaurants and has quickly become a kitchen staple for so many people. Made mainly of ketchup, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, pickle brine, and paprika, the flavor mainly depends on how much of each ingredient you include. If you’re making this at home, it’s a good idea to make it at least a day or two ahead of time since the flavor really needs time to develop.
This is fantastic with fries, great on burgers, and a friend to veggies. Just watch out for calories since it’s easy to go overboard with this awesome sauce.
Hummus
Hummus is one of the most popular and oldest dips in the world: and should be an immediate replacement for ketchup. Full of protein from the chickpeas and flavor from the multiple spices and unique combinations you can make with it, hummus gives you the chance to pick a dip that’s good for you. Although you can definitely add anything unhealthy you want to it: it’s better to be as natural as possible.
Pepper Jelly
Pepper jelly has seen a major boom in popularity in recent years! Many love the chance to have a tangy mix of hot and sweet since this combo can surprise and delight the taste buds. This is awesome for everything from charcuterie boards to sandwiches, fries, chicken nuggets, or anything else you want to dip. The awesome sweet heat will keep you coming back for dip after pepper jelly dip!
Garlic Aioli
Despite popular opinion: aioli usually doesn’t include any mayonnaise! A classic aioli contains only garlic and lemon juice: but you can make it however you want. This creamy and spunky dip is fantastic for french fries and veggies and is great for gut health while staying low in calories. If you want to spice it up a little, you can add black pepper or any hot sauce you want and kick it up a level!
Dip Should be Incredible!
Whether you’re dipping carrot sticks or french fries: what you dip them in should be delicious! Consider trying some of these fantastic dips soon!
