(NC) - When it comes to laid-back entertaining, nothing is easier on the hostess or more popular with guests than dips. They're easy to make, can be fancy or casual and are often best prepared in advance. Kick off your next summer get-together with one of the many dips from Hellmann's available at www.homebasics.ca.

- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander leaves (30 mL)
- 1/2 cup seeded, finely chopped tomatoes (125 mL)
Blend soup mix in the bowl of a food processor for 10 seconds or until coarsely ground. Add mayonnaise and lime juice. Blend well. Add avocado and coriander and, using the pulse button, blend until well combined but still chunky. Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with tomatoes.
