Chip & Dip

Nachos are a great alternative to regular salted crisp as they’re baked and not fried, and the plain chips don’t have added salt or flavourings. Interesting dips are a great way to get children to eat raw veggies.

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

1 packet plain nachos chips
1 tub low-fat hummus
1 tub low-fat cream cheese
3–4 sundried tomatoes in oil, drained
Fresh crudités such as green beans, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks and celery sticks
½ avocado

METHOD
 

1. Make the cream cheese dip by whizzing the sundried tomatoes with the cream cheese in a food processor until combined. Scoop into a bowl.
2. Dice the avocado, toss in 1tsp juice to prevent it going brown, and stir into the hummus.
3. Arrange the chips and dips on a platter and enjoy!

VARIATION
 

1. Include plain yoghurt as a dip, and serve fruit slices as a healthy dessert alternative, or for those craving something sweet, dip pieces of fruit in chocolate as a sugar-controlled dessert.

2. Serve veggie crisps (either store-bought or homemade) as an alternative to traditional potato crisps.
