Raita

A quick raita recipe:

250ml natural yoghurt
Half a cucumber, chopped into smallish pieces
A handful of mint, chopped (this is dead easy to grow)

Simply mix it all together. Add some finely chopped green chilli if you want more of a kick.

Dips

Some low/no sodium dips to liven up those salt-free crisps (Tyrells and Kettle Chips both do unsalted versions now; and there's always Salt n Shake too).

Simple Tomato Salsa:
400g tin chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons lime juice
Red chilli to taste (I keep one of those cheating jars of pre-chopped chilli in the fridge)

Simply mix it all together!

Guacamole:
4 mild chillies, finely chopped
Bunch coriander, chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp water
½ lime, juice only
3 ripe avocados

In a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, coriander and tomatoes to a fine paste. Add a little water and lime juice to make a looser mixture. Mash in the avocados.

Houmous:
Here I'm simply going to link to Joanna's delicious recipe.
