At Palamano, we believe the best snacks are the ones that are simple, satisfying, and made to be enjoyed directly Pa-La-Mano (for the hand)! Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, enjoying a casual evening, or just need a nutritious afternoon pick-me-up, the perfect partner for our crunchy, almond-based tortilla chips is a simple, homemade dip.

Ditch the heavily processed store-bought options and elevate your snacking game with these three incredibly easy, healthy, and wholesome dip recipes. They're all designed to be whipped up quickly, packed with flavour, and perfectly paired with the amazing crunch of Palamano Almond Tortilla Chips.

1. Mediterranean White Bean & Rosemary Dip (High Fibre & Protein)
This creamy, satisfying dip is a powerhouse of plant-based protein and fibre, keeping you full and energised. It’s a sophisticated twist on hummus, perfect with our Sea Salt chips.

Ingredients:
1 can (400g) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)

1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 small garlic clove, crushed

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Method:
Combine the beans, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor.

Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Season with salt and pepper.

Serve topped with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of rosemary.

2. Speedy Green Guacamole (Healthy Fats Hero)
Guacamole is the ultimate "for the hand" food, and this recipe is so easy you'll never buy pre-made again! It’s loaded with healthy monounsaturated fats from the avocado. It’s an essential pairing for our Sea Salt or Lemon/lime chips.

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados

1/2 small red onion, finely diced

1/4 cup coriander (cilantro), chopped

1 lime, juiced

Pinch of chilli flakes (optional, for a little kick!)

Salt to taste

Method:
Mash the avocados in a bowl until you reach your preferred texture (we like it a little chunky!).

Stir in the red onion, coriander, lime juice, chilli flakes (if using), and salt.

Mix well and serve immediately for the freshest taste!

3. Simple Tomato Salsa Fresca (The Classic & Clean Choice)
Nothing beats a classic fresh salsa. This recipe uses minimal ingredients to really let the fresh tomato flavour shine. Pair this with our Sea Salt chips for the perfect movie-night or party essential!

Ingredients:
2 large, ripe tomatoes, finely diced

1/2 cup fresh onion, finely diced

1/2 jalapeño or small red chilli, seeds removed and finely diced (optional)

Juice of 1/2 lime

Salt to taste

Method:
In a medium bowl, gently combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (if using), and lime juice.

Mix gently to avoid crushing the tomatoes.

Season with salt to taste.

Let the salsa sit for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to marry.
