Ruffles French Onion Dip Copycat Recipes

There’s a brand of the store of one of the dip recipes called Ruffles French Onion Dip which is so delicious but also so full of salt and additives that it tastes like food when you eat it but doesn’t feel great to consume. This vegan version has all the flavor and leaves your mouth and tummy feeling happy.

The basic ingredients for this dip are olive oil, onions, sea salt, cashews, lemon, vegan mayonnaise (optional), garlic powder, and ground white pepper. Unlike the Ruffle’s onion dip, this dip should be refrigerated (and it’s kind of freaky that the Ruffle’s version can hang out on a shelf for a long time! Yikes!) Indeed, it is one of the best dip recipes there is.

Easy Cowboy Caviar Dip Recipes

Some people say that Cowboy Caviar is just a southwestern black-eyed pea salad and well, they’re right! Texas caviar “was created in the U.S. state of Texas around 1940 by Helen Corbitt, a native New Yorker. She first served the dish on New Year’s Eve at the Houston Country Club. When she later served it at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas, it was given its name, ‘Texas caviar,’ as a humorous comparison to true caviar.”

This is a great dip for gatherings, but you should consider working a version of this into your everyday meals, especially in the summer when a heavy, hot meal isn’t appealing.

This delish recipe calls for black-eyed peas, black beans, sweet corn, diced tomatoes, diced red pepper, jalapeno, red onion, garlic, cilantro, black pepper, salt, sugar, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Combine and enjoy with tortilla chips!

Easy Olive Tapenade Dip Recipes

There’s nothing like the salty, weird flavor of olives. Olives are super high in vitamin E and other good antioxidants. Studies show that they benefit the heart, and can protect against osteoporosis and cancer.

A good tapenade can be really expensive in the store, but really, tapenade can be as expensive or budget-friendly as you’d like. Olives need to be cured to be eaten, and outside of the Mediterranean and middle east, we tend to get olives out of big tin cans (yes, even at Whole Foods! They pour them into the bulk olive display.) There’s nothing wrong with that at all, but as long as you don’t use super cheap olives with weird additives, it can really be up to individuals as to whether they prefer green or black, Kalamata or Cerignola.

For this recipe, you’ll use green olives – with the pimiento stuffing, black olives, garlic salts, olive oil, and lemon juice. Quick pulse in the blender and serve!

This white bean dip is a savory, flavorful dish that goes so well with crackers, chips, or veggies. It is full of fresh garlic, thyme and rosemary and has a rich, creamy texture that’s simply phenomenal.

If you find it hard to eat beans, try sprouting them first. People say that the old practice of sprouting can turn any hard to digest grain, seed, or bean into a food that your body can digest as easily as a vegetable.
