Meet Your New Favorite Summer Dips 🍅

We're here to remind you that a stocked spice collection is the shortest distance between you and an exciting meal. The fun is in finding new applications — and right now, we're obsessed with dips.

You may have seen olive oil dips taking over your social media feed lately, but if not, the idea is simple: start with good olive oil, build in herbs, spices, vegetables, cheese, etc and suddenly you have something worth tearing bread over.

We developed 3 unique dipping recipes, each built around a single Burlap & Barrel ingredient. Grab some good bread to start, but these dips can become part of your meals all week long.

Roasted Tomato, Yogurt & Provençal Basil

Our Provençal Basil is back in stock, and this is the recipe we built to celebrate. A base of garlicky yogurt, topped with slow-roasted cherry tomatoes that have burst and caramelized and infused with bright basil flavor. It's the classic tomato, basil, and cheese combination — just in dip form. Eat it warm with good bread, alongside eggs the next morning, or blend the leftovers into a quick pasta sauce.

White Bean, Pomegranate Molasses & Mint

This one was born from two ingredients both grown in Turkey — our Euphrates Mint and Pomegranate Molasses — and the pairing makes complete sense once you taste it. Creamy white beans, toasted walnuts, a drizzle of tart-sweet molasses, and a mint-infused oil that pulls it all together. Hearty enough to be a meal on its own, but equally at home alongside grilled meats, spooned over morning yogurt, or a great base for a panzanella.

Za'atar, Feta & Olive

If you've never grated a tomato before, it's an excellent hack to quickly get fresh tomato juice — grate it directly into the bowl and watch it release into the olive oil and Za'atar​ base. Add chopped parsley, shallot, olives, and a generous crumble of feta and you have something that might be the only thing you want to eat all summer. Serve it as an appetizer, alongside grilled chicken or kebabs, or go all in with warm pita and hummus.
