I am a huge fan of dips, and I believe that they can truly make a meal complete. From the classic hummus to the ever-popular guacamole, dips are a staple in many cuisines around the world. They add a creamy element to a dish but also pack a punch of flavor that can elevate even the simplest of meals.
That’s why I think tapas have become so popular worldwide. When we do tapas at home, we always have a variety of dips like pesto, cheese, and tapenades, along with different foods to dip into these amazing combinations. It’s so satisfying, and people always seem to eat just a little too much.
Today, I wanted to try something new and create some unique dips to go with satay.
I came up with two different versions: a delicious chicken satay served with baked feta and artichoke dip, and a vegan avocado satay with a creamy peanut butter sauce.
The peanut butter sauce is one that I usually make for my fresh Vietnamese spring rolls, but it’s amazing with warm avocado sticks too! I hope you give these dips and satay a try and create your own tapas spread.
