You can dehydrate dips for later use.
Dehydrated dips become a powder that you can save for a later occasion. Unfortunately, dehydrating does take some time and effort, and ovens do not work well for the process. A food dehydrator properly removes moisture. Powdered dips will last for weeks as long as you keep them refrigerated, so feel free to make them far in advance. Lemon dip powder is particularly useful for later use with yogurt or , since the powder will not curdle the milk.
Instructions
1. Mix the lemon juice, mustard, lemon zest, and garlic in a bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Pour the mixture into the dehydrator sheet. Put the sheet into the dehydrator.
3. Cook the mixture at 140 degrees Fahrenheit for four to 12 hours until the mixture has become a brittle layer.
4. Crumble the layer into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. Add the powder to sour cream, mayonnaise, or yogurt to reconstitute.
