Lulu's bread spreads and chip dips

Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli

Salsa may last forever in your fridge, but it also gets pretty repetitious. As an alternative, locally based Paul Foods recently introduced 14 flavors of bread spreads and chip dips under the label Lulu's. All Lulu's spreads are chickpea-based and creamy, much like hummus. Our favorites were the roasted-garlic-and-rosemary (great with chips or as a cracker spread), the creamy caraway (best on nutty or flavored breads), the "Cool as a Cucumber" (excellent for veggie dipping), and the Martha's Vineyard summer spread with tomato and basil -- which works on chips, bread, or veggies. Eight-ounce containers cost $2.49 to $2.99 at Stop & Shop supermarkets.
