The Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip has developed a real legion of lovers over the years and they’re known to be very vocal about it too.
We’re talking the – Facebook fan pages, change.org petitions to start selling bottles of the dip in supermarkets, and even calls for it to have it’s own national day of celebration – level of vocal.
As far as condiments go, it’s safe to say this one’s pretty iconic.
There’s plenty of other garlic dips on the market and range of alternative sauces to choose from as well, but as most Domino’s fans will tell you, they will never come come close to the masterpiece that is the garlic & herb dip.
Before Domino’s began selling ‘big dip’ tubs of the garlic and herb sauce for an extra couple of quid, fans had to make do with just the single small pot that came accompanying a pizza, but it was never enough to go around. This lead many to having a crack at recreating it for themselves, but they always struggled to live up to expectations.

That is, until now.
Some genius has discovered a way to recreate the Garlic & Herb Dip recipe and according to people in the comments, it’s about as good as you’re going to get. TikTok user @daddydinners posted the dupe recipe on the video-sharing platform, amassing over 200K views in the process, and it doesn’t look too tricky to have a stab at yourself.
Considering it was shockingly revealed a couple of years back that the big dip tub of the Domino’s Garlic & Herb Dip has a total of 700 calories in it, this one definitely seems a much healthier option too.
Fancy making it yourself then? Here’s everything you’ll need:
Ingredients

½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
1tsp oregano
1tbsp white wine vinegar
½ tsp garlic puree
Pinch of salt
Pinch of sugar
Then once you’ve got all your ingredients, just mix them all together and chill the dip in the fridge for a good couple of hours so that all the ingredients marry together nicely.
It’s as simple us that.

Five of the best things to watch on TV this Christmas 2024
Emily Sergeant
We all know Christmas is a hectic time.
For some of us, if the run-up to Christmas wasn’t already busy enough as it is, there’s often not a moment to breathe on the big day itself between presents being opened, travelling to see people, entertaining guests, slaving over a hot stove for hours, and eating plenty of food.
Sometimes though, you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs with some time to spare, and that’s why the distraction of festive television is so brilliant.
For others, sitting around to watch the TV is an important part of Christmas itself.
No matter what your situation is, there’s some cracking things to watch on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day this year – with classic seasonal films, to festive specials of our favourite shows, and a few family-friendly additions all on the agenda.

Rúben Amorim’s Man United press conference interrupted by Old Trafford roof leaking – again
Danny Jones
Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has been given plenty doses of reality since arriving at Old Trafford but surely there can’t be any more telling than the stadium’s roof leaking into his press conference?
Poetic irony timed to perfection.
Not only did the new head coach have to sit in front of journalists as he tried to wrap his head around another Premier League implosion following the 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth – a team now sat in fifth, it’s worth noting – but he also got to witness the condition the stadium first hand.
And when we say first hand, we mean literally right in front of his face.
In case you wanted a summary of how much work there is to be done at Man United, the roof started leaking during Ruben Amorim’s press conference. 💦
In this instance, not only was the leak internal but Amorim’s post-match press conference was actually briefly interrupted as drops of water fell on the desk in front of him.
You can hear reporters asking what it is (they knew full well) before United’s press officer can be heard off-camera asking them to quickly move on. Sports writer Sanny Rudravajhala quipped, “A new meaning to the leaks at #mufc”, in reference to dressing room talk and lineups still being fed to the media.
Make what you will of Amorim‘s expressions in this moment but let’s just say he can’t have been expecting to have to worry about things like this when he accepted the job.
A penny for the Portugueseman’s thoughts when he looked up and saw that leak coming from the ceiling:

Although many are deeply reticent to let the iconic Theatre of Dreams go after more than a century of history and sporting memories, scenes like this certainly go a long way to arguing the case for a whole new home ground rather than simply renovating as it appears to be in such a sorry state of disrepair.
But even with a brand-new state-of-the-art footballing arena, it doesn’t do anything to address improving performances on the pitch as even with eye-watering sums invested in the squad over recent years, they still look way off it and serious work needs to be done for them to catch up with the pack.
You can watch the highlights from Man United vs Bournemouth below:
The leaking roof wasn’t the only thing raining down on Amorim as the derby day high was followed by a frustrating festive low.
