    • GOODNESS OF GARLIC DIPS

    Garlic & Herb - Garlic & Dill


    www.goodnessofgarlic.com; Our very popular Garlic and Herb Dip
    These are much more than just dips...They're really a "base of flavors" that can be used in so many delicious ways. We carefully choose the ingredients, dehydrate them in our kitchen, blend them together, and package them in air-tight jars to preserve their pure & robust flavors.

    When you're using our "Dips", the dry ingredients should be mixed with whatever you're using for the "liquid"...for example, sour cream (regular, low, or no fat), mayo, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese, buttermilk, tomatoes/tomato sauce, or ??? Then, let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. This step will allow the garlic & herbs to bring forth their full potential of "flavor bloom".

    Here are just a few ways our customers have used these wonderful dips:


  • Add some to your bread machine for an incredibly edible GARLIC BREAD
  • Use as a DIP for chips, veggies, and even chicken strips
  • Create a SAUCE for sandwiches, burgers, or fish
  • Create a unique PASTA SAUCE
  • Create THE ULTIMATE CREAM CHEESE by adding our Dip and Garlic Jelly
