THE DIP COLLECTION
It's Friday night. This week's HBO episode is on pause. You're craving something. And this might be it. Make a simple sour cream and Greek yogurt dip, reimagined by your very own EVOOs and balsamics. Truffle and cranberry pear. Smoke and maple. Chipotle and lime. Just a 5-minute prep, then grab some kettle cooked or tortilla chips or some leftover brioche or even a toasted hot dog bun broken in pieces. And check the fridge. Whatever crunch is in there just got a lot more interesting.
THE BASIC RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
DIRECTIONS: Combine sour cream and Greek yogurt in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add EVOO and whisk until fully incorporated. Add balsamic and whisk again. Taste and adjust salt. Each dip below follows this base and ratio — only the flavours change. Note: Two recipes include 2 EVOOs. Split them in half as a single EVOO with the same amount of balsamic.
GARLIC + LIME: Bright and sharp with a clean citrus edge. Split Garlic and Lime EVOO as the savoury foundation. Then Lemon white balsamic if you can't find Lime on the shelf. Tortilla chips, pretzels, the end of a baguette — this one disappears fast.
DILL + SERRANO HONEY: Cool and herbal upfront, with a slow warmth from the Serrano Honey Vinegar that builds at the back. Fresh, bright, and just a little unpredictable. Brown bread, toasted. Pita. Whatever's close.
LIME + CHIPOTLE + YOUR PICK : Split the Lime and Chipotle EVOO's in half. Then any one of our sweet, crisp white balsamics to round out the zesty spice. Hot dog buns torn and dragged through this are genuinely better than they have any right to be.
BLACK PEPPER + FIG: Rich and a little unexpected. Black Peppercorn EVOO brings clean heat, Fig Dark Balsamic softens it into something almost jammy. Feels like it belongs on a cheese board. Tastes even better on a pretzel.
SMOKE + MAPLE: Quiet campfire depth from the Olive Wood Smoked EVOO, just enough sweetness from the Maple Dark Balsamic. Brioche bun, torn. A leftover dinner roll. The smokiness makes everything taste intentional.
TRUFFLE + CRANBERRY PEAR: Nobody sees this one coming. Black Truffle Oil is deep and earthy, Cranberry Pear White Balsamic lifts it with a bright, tart fruitiness that changes everything. A leftover hot dog bun. That's the move. Trust it.
