♦my life-long dream has been to have a food van; I spend any free time I have thinking up dishes, and putting ingredients together in my mind.

These dips are my own invention.

Put all the ingredients except the mayonnaise into a food processor and blend until smooth.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Add mayonnaise (if you wish) and stir to combine, then transfer to a serving bowl.
