TURNIP GREEN DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a large skillet cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Carefully pour away all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease; return the pan to the heat, and add the onions. Cook about 3 minutes. Add the turnip greens and cook 8 to 10 minutes. Add the Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the cream cheese has melted and the mixture is bubbly. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
• Transfer the mixture to the baking dish, and bake 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Turn on the oven's broiler, and return the baking dish to the oven for 5 minutes.
• Serve with tortilla chips or fried pork skins.

GLORIOUS GREEN DIP

Steps:

• Heat an oiled grill pan over medium-high. Add scallions to hot pan and cook, flipping once, pressing down with a spatula occasionally, until grill marks appear and scallions are charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. (Alternatively, broil scallions in oven on a baking sheet until charred in spots, about 3 minutes.) Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop; you should have a heaping ⅓ cup.
• Add beans, chives, mayonnaise, oil, lemon juice, and salt to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add spinach and chopped scallions; blend, stopping to push contents down and scrape sides of bowl as needed, until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

CREAMY COLLARD GREENS DIP WITH SHITO

Steps:

• Heat the broiler with the rack 6 to 8 inches from the heat source.
• Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high. Add onion, bell pepper and jalapeño. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned at the edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
• Deglaze the pan by adding chicken stock and stirring and scraping up browned bits. Add heavy cream and cream cheese and simmer, stirring occasionally, until cream cheese is melted. Add 1/2 cup shito and stir to combine, then stir in collards. Reduce heat to medium and simmer rapidly, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced to a thick, creamy consistency that coats the greens without being soupy, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups Cheddar and the lemon juice. Stir until cheese melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can keep the dip in the skillet if the pan is ovenproof, or transfer the dip to a 2-quart baking dish and spread evenly. Combine panko with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar and sprinkle over the dip.
• Broil until golden on top, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon remaining 2 tablespoons shito over dip. Serve hot or warm, with baguette, if you'd like.

THE STORE'S GREEN DIP

Steps:

• Put the anchovies and anchovy oil, parsley, vinegar, chives or shallots, and capers into a blender or food processor and purée until the mixture has nearly liquefied, about 3 minutes, pulsing and scraping down the sides as needed.
• Add the mayonnaise and pulse to combine. Season with pepper, then transfer to a small bowl and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Serve as a dip with chilled sliced vegetables.

GREEK GODDESS DIP

Steps:

• Place dill, mint, parsley, basil, garlic, scallions, lemon juice and salt in a food processor and process until finely chopped.
• With motor running, drizzle in the olive oil until incorporated. Add feta and process until smooth; pulse in yogurt. Taste dip and add more salt, if desired. If you like a creamier, richer dip, add mayonnaise and pulse to combine.
• Serve dip immediately with vegetables or pita chips or cover and store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
