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.
In this post you will find the recipes for three dips.
The first one is Red Pepper Feta Dip. It is a creamy, flavorful, colorful cheese dip made with roasted peppers, feta, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar and spices.
The second one is Greek Eggplant Spread. This is made with roasted eggplant, red onions, garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil and seasonings. It is a spread that is light and full of flavor.
