I could really use some sugar free dip recipes. Most mayo has sugar in it, but I don't mind mayo style ingredients like egg yolk, oil, vinegar, etc.

Tomato, olive, dill, eggplant/babaganoush, vegetarian liver, etc

If you want a recipe for making your own mayo, let me know.
In any case, I make tomato dip, black olive dip, roasted garlic eggplant dip, etc without any mayo or sugar.

My homemade mayo never emulsifies. Do you have any secrets? I think my problem might be that my mixer doesn't allow me to slowly add oil while it is on. Only my big Cuisenart art does and I would never use that much mayo before it went bad. I was going to try this method with an imersion blender next, but my hopes aren't high because I've tried so many "secrets" and watched so many youtube videos.

I would love your recipes for tomato dip, black olive dip, roasted garlic eggplant dip when you get a chance.

there's a recipe on this site for mayo w/ an immersion blender.
it's in the pesach recipes and it's very good and easy to make. plus it's a very small amount so you don't have to worry about wasting

found it!

I tried the immersion blender mayonnaise and completely failed. I hate how much oil I waste every time I try something new.

Chumus - Blend canned chick peas, tehina, water, garlic, lemon juice, salt and cumin in blender. (For exact recipe you can probably find on this site or online.)

Babaganush, you can do the authentic sephardic style and use tehina instead of mayo, and water as needed to loosen it.

turkish salad, matbucha

There are several types of aubergine spread you can do. The standard baba ganoush is broil till outside is charred, scoop up inside, drain all liquid and add tehina, lemon juice, salt, garlic (you can roast whole garlic clove the same time as the aubergine). Another less heavy/more refreshing one is similarly cook and scoop the aubergine pulps, season with salt and pepper, generous lemon juice, and add finely chopped (sweet) red pepper and salad onion.

For non-mayo based spread/dips, you can do barzegan, 1.5cup FINE bulgour, soak in 2 cups lukewarm water for 30minutes and drain VERY well. Add 3tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper, generous sprinkling of paprika, cumin, 3 tbsp tomato paste, 1/2 finely chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 2tbsp each ketuchup and tamarind paste or pomegranate molassess. Mix and let flavours mellow for a few hours, best served at room temp.

Or mouhamara which is lebanese tomato-nut dip. soft breadcrumb from 1 slice of challah, 1 cup ground walnuts, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp chili pepper flake, 1tbsp lemon oil, salt and pepper to taste. Whizz in blender. This one is assertive but not too spicy despite its colour. You can tone it down also by adding a few pieces of roasted red peppers.

Hilbeh is also non-mayo, non-sugar.

No-Fail Mayo

Tomato Dip
2 over-ripe tomatoes
2 small garlic cloves
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed (optional)
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper, to taste

Process tomatoes, garlic and jalapeno in food processor. Using an olive oil drip dispensor, drizzle the olive oil in very very slowly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Black Olive Dip
1 can pitted black olives, drained
3-4 garlic cloves
1/3 cup olive oil

Blend olives and garlic in food processor/blender. Stream in olive oil while processing.

Garlic Roasted Eggplant Dip
1 eggplant, pierced
1 whole head garlic

Wrap eggplant in foil. Same with head of garlic. Place both wrapped veggies in an aluminum pan to catch drips.
Place in oven preheated 425 degrees until very soft, about 1 hour and 10 min.
When eggplant is cool enough to handle, cut in half and scoop out flesh. Squeeze head of garlic until you get the soft creamy garlic pouring out. Blend together for a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hummus

Tehina
3/4 cup tehina paste (Lieber's tastes best)
3/4 cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small container. Cover and shake until very smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste. Shake again.
Refrigerate 2 hours before serving (will thicken up).

Garlic Dip
http://imamother.com/forum/vie.....c+dip
this uses 1 tsp mayo, you can use oil instead I'm sure

Avocado Dip
1 ripe avocado
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp kosher salt (less for regular salt)

Mash avocado with small fork until very smooth and creamy. Season. Mash until well combined.

Is honey ok? Or is any kind of sugar out...

If honey is ok, try a citrus honey dressing:

Olive oil
Red Wine vinegar
Garlic
A splash of orange juice
Honey (only needs a really small amount, mainly as an emulsifier and a tiny bit for taste)
Salt
Pepper
Mustard (optional)

Other than that, you can make really good homemade mayonnaise. I have a wonderful recipe, which I can't find right now because I'm not on my home computer.
You can then add paprika, extra vinegar, onion salt, garlic, or anything else you like, to make awesome dips.
