Although here at Prinos Farm&Deli we stock a wide range of dips at our premium supermarkets across Cyprus, there are also plenty of great recipes that can be made at home. Not only are these easy dips great to serve to friends, they also make for a perfect healthy mid-day snack or even a light dinner.

And one of the best things about making your own homemade dips is experimenting with the ingredients. Not only will you be sure that there are no nasty preservatives and refined sugars, but also you can adjust the quantities to exactly suit your personal taste. So none of these recipes need to be followed too strictly. In fact, deviate as much as your imagination allows, and let us know the results!

So without further ado, here are Prinos Farm&Deli’s favourite homemade dip recipes for September 2022. We hope you enjoy making them and if you don’t have the ingredients at home already, be sure to pop into our stores in Nicosia and Larnaca or online today.
