I'm just wondering- what salads/dips do you buy ready made?

chrain, that's usually it.

If I want any dips I usually make them, tomato dip, garlic dip, olive dip, babaganush.

chumous (always)

chrain (we don't go through it very often)

pikanti eggplant (only on sale, would love to know how to make it, can't get it right myself)
eggplant with techina (or mayonaise) - trying to cut it out & make myself
red cabbage

chopped liver (once in a blue moon, it's a real treat)

whitefish salad (I would buy it if I found it, it's dh's favorite).

Chummus. I can't get my raw chickpeas right, and tinned ones are more expensive than ready made chummus. Stopped buying babaganoush when I started breaking out from eggplant. Matbucha, midei pa'am. Also coleslaws midei pa'am.

chummous, sometimes turkish salad and others if they have them. but home made is almost always better.

Chummous almost weekly,
Chrain, whitefish salad, chopped liver much more rarely.

I make chrain every pesach and freeze it, it freezes beautifully... when the supply ends, I have to buy. Otherwise, we make the tomato dip ourself, the yummy salsa, the dill dip, etc.

Only houmous. I make all the other salads/dips myself. Homemade tastes SO much better.

chummus and techina - not regularly - but when we need. I once tried making techina and it was the wrong consistency and taste. I just can't make them right. Sometimes dh buys babaganoush - but we both agree that mine tastes much better.

all of them - chummus chrain, matbucha, eggplant, caponata, every so often some of the others...go sabra!!! I just hate their containers - they always fall and break all over my kitchen floor.

Chrain every week

and when I don't have time or energy to make my own dips, I buy babaganoush and one more dip as well.
