Any dip of your or Angela's choice works well instead of chips or totilla
chips. Hummous or any of the other israeli salad inn the containers. I
would think even peanut butter or other nut butters, but they are quite
fatty. Chopped liver, probably seem yukky to you, but it is a great
favorite in my house or vegetarian liver, which is sometimes available in
thoe Sabra packs.
