Hello people! I had a request for recipes of greek dips, so here it is! Here the dips are served in a plate with a spoon so everyone in the table gets the amount he/she wants for their own plates. We call them "salads" and they are never missing of our table! They are delicious and everyone likes them! It's worth trying them! 
The pictures and recipes are all taken from this site https://www.sintagespareas.gr/ and I added some of my variations. Their names are in greek. Enjoy!
