In this short cooking demonstration, the presenter highlights the unhealthy composition of many store‑bought dips—typically half refined oil, plus thickeners, sugar and preservatives—and then introduces three quick, homemade alternatives that can be prepared in under ten minutes. The first dip is a chipotle‑style mayo made from soaked cashews, red bell pepper, lemon juice, rock salt and water, blended into a tangy, creamy sauce. The second is a mustard pea dip that uses green peas for thickness, combined with mustard for a light, slightly spicy flavor. The third is a beetroot labneh, described as a fresh, vibrant spread. Full recipes are provided in the video caption.

Did you know that a store-bought dip that we get is made up of 50% refined oil? Just imagine that for a second. 50% of the bottle is refined oil. And what's the rest of it? Thickening agents, white sugar, and nasty preservatives. But worry not, our chefs have developed 3 dips that you can make at your home literally under 10 minutes each. Dip number 1 is chipotle mayo made with bell peppers. All you need is Soaked cashews, red bell pepper, lemon juice, rock salt, and water. Blend until smooth and enjoy a tangy, creamy burst of flavour with each bite of your meal. Number 2 is mustard pea dip, made with green peas. The green peas make this dip thick, but it's also very light with a slightly spicy punch from the mustard. And number 3, beetroot labneh. This beautiful dip is a burst of freshness in every bite. No matter what you pair them with, these dips will elevate every single bite into an explosion of flavours. Detailed recipes are in the caption.
