# What You Need:

→ Dips

01 - 1 cup classic hummus

# How To Make It:

01 - Place spoonfuls of each dip randomly on a large serving platter or shallow bowl, alternating colors for visual appeal.
02 - Using a butter knife or the back of a spoon, gently swirl the dips together to form a marbled, stone-like pattern without overmixing.
03 - Drizzle plain Greek yogurt in spoonfuls over the dips and swirl lightly to enhance the marbled appearance.

05 - Offer immediately with small spoons or spreaders for easy dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to feel special, but takes less time than most appetizers actually require.
  • You control the colors, so it matches whatever mood or season you're going for.
  • Everyone eats with their eyes first, and this makes them excited before they even taste a bite.
02 -
  • The dips separate and pool as they sit, so swirl them as close to serving time as possible—even five minutes changes the effect.
  • Using room-temperature dips instead of cold ones makes swirling actually possible; cold dips stay stubborn and separated.
03 -
  • Swirl everything at the last possible moment before guests arrive because moisture and time make colors blur together.
  • Room-temperature dips swirl smooth and beautiful; cold dips stay stubborn and separate, so pull them out 15 minutes early.
