Who knew that a plate of raw veggies could turn into a party with just the right dip? Whether it’s a birthday bash, a Super Bowl extravaganza, or a celebration of the end of the week, dips make everything more fun. So, which dip is calling your name? Let’s consult the stars—er, your dipper preference.
Got some crackers on hand? Dive into our four-ingredient giardiniera dip or the classic pimento cheese. Potato chips calling your name? Try the irresistible clam dip or the rich French onion dip. If you’re munching on cucumbers and carrots, elevate your snack game with a preserved lemon dressing or some homemade labneh. Pita chips on the menu? We’ve got a plethora of hummus options for you, from classic to creatively flavored. And for those tortilla chip lovers, indulge in some queso fundido or creamy guacamole.
Remember, no matter what you’re dipping or what you’re dipping it in, always dip responsibly—double-dipping is a solo activity.

Creamy Giardiniera Dip
Cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, and Chicago-style (that means oil-based) giardiniera are all you need for this creamy-meets-crunchy dip.

Warm 7-Layer Skillet Dip
This spin on seven-layer dip—with Monterey Jack cheese, refried beans, and pickled jalapeños—is exceedingly cozy. Buy a lot of tortilla chips and don’t count on any leftovers.
