Creamy dips in colorful swirls served with matching crackers for an eye-catching snack.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dips

01 - 1 cup classic hummus
02 - 1 cup beet hummus
03 - 1 cup spinach or basil pesto hummus
04 - 1 cup roasted red pepper dip
05 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

07 - 1 cup beetroot crisps

09 - 1 cup classic water crackers

# Directions:

01 - Place spoonfuls of each dip randomly on a large serving platter, alternating colors to create visual contrast.
02 - Use a butter knife or the back of a spoon to gently swirl the dips, forming a marbled, stone-like pattern without overmixing.
03 - Drizzle plain Greek yogurt over the dips and lightly swirl to add marble lines.
04 - Place the crackers in groups around the perimeter of the platter, matching the colors of the dips.
05 - Present immediately with small spoons or spreaders for dipping.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours on it, but honestly takes less time than setting the table.
  • Guests can't stop dipping because the colors are so beautiful they keep reaching for more.
  • You can prep it in minutes, and it works for everything from casual hangouts to actual fancy events.
02 -
  • Do not overmix or swirl obsessively—the moment you think it's done, stop. I learned this the hard way when I kept going until it became a muddy mess.
  • Use dips that are fairly thick in consistency, or they'll run into each other before you even swirl. Thin dips are the enemy of marble.
03 -
  • Chill your dips before swirling if you have time—they hold their shape better and the colors stay more distinct.
  • Use a platter with some depth rather than completely flat, or the dips will spread too thin and lose their impact.
