Mezze Dips are simple to make dips that can be served as part of a Mezze type spread.
Mezze is a way of dining, in which a selection of small dishes are served. They are meant to be shared, either as an appetizer or a light meal. This can include vegetables, olives, salads, cheese, falafel, hummus and Mezze Dips served with pita bread or crackers.. You can vary the assortment based on what you like.
