Best Dip Recipes

Share this recipe!

Take a look at my best dip recipes. These easy dips are my favorite dips and I could easily make anyone of them my dinner. But I don't! Whether you choose to make these dips for parties or just because, I think you will find at least one that more than satisfies!

best dip recipes square with 9 images this …

I love easy dip recipes! From hot to cold dips, these appetizers are always the first to disappear.

Whether I make them for a family event or as a dip for parties, dips are universally loved.

These, mostly cream cheese based dips, though not all, are also great spread on toast when you have leftovers.

Many of them can be made ahead and kept in the fridge in an airtight container for those moments when you just need a quick bite.

Dips somehow satisfy until dinnertime!

FYI

When did dips become popular?

When Lipton's French onion soup became popular in the 50's, part of their advertising was making a dip with sour cream and an envelope of French onion soup mix. Yes, I still make it and love it!

Cheesy Warm Dips

Boursin and Roasted Tomato Dip on white plate with crackers

Boursin Cheese Dip

This easy dip recipe with roasted tomatoes and Boursin cheese is not just simple to make, it is delish! Caramelize the tomatoes and stir in the cheese!

warm onion dip with pepper served with veggies and chips

Baked Onion Dip with Black Pepper

A warm dip is perfect for cold days and this onion dip with lots of black pepper and chopped onion disappears fast!

jalapeno popper dip with scallions and cilantro and bacon garnish in white casserole dish with corn chips

Jalapeno Popper Dip

Everyone loves jalapeno poppers so why not turn them into a dip. To good not to try! I even stuff more jalapenos with this ambrosia!

pepperoncini philadelphia cream cheese dip recipe

Pepperoncini Dip

I love pepperoncini on pizza and sandwiches and you can bet I love it in dip. This cheesy warm dip made with cream cheese is a crowd pleaser!

buffalo  chicken dip on bruschetta toast

Buffalo Chicken Dip

I do a lot with a Buffalo chicken dip. This is a perfect dip for parties, whether you spread it on bruschetta or serve it with chips or crackers. I even make it for dinner!

chili pepper jam dip with tortilla chips and green chilies in green oval baking dish

Green Chili Pepper Jam Dip

There are a million ways to make a green chili dip. However this one is even better when made with hot pepper jam. Tell me what you think!

Chile Con Queso in cactus bowl

Chile Con Queso

A best dip recipe post would not be complete without a chile con queso recipe. We love this cheesy dip and even pour it over macaroni, enchiladas or taquitos. Secret tip-add a slice of American cheese and this dip won't congeal while waiting to disappear!

3 ingredient artichoke dip in oval baking  dish

3 Ingredient Artichoke Dip

My favorite dips post wouldn't be complete without Mom's three ingredient artichoke dip. I always have the ingredients on hand just in case someone drops by! Which I hope they do, because I love this dip!

Other Cold Easy Dip Recipes

bacon jam dip with ricotta in blue and white decorative bowl

Bacon Jam, Horseradish Ricotta Dip

Whether you make your own bacon jam or buy it, this ricotta based dip with a touch of horseradish is made for bacon lovers!

cream cheese onion dip in silver bowl with potato chips

Onion Cream Cheese Dip

My very favorite onion dip! This cream cheese and sour cream dip is made for onion dip lovers of which I am one of.

bacon, mushroom and cream cheese dip with bourbon in small decorative bowl with chips

Bacon Bourbon Mushroom Dip

Another bacon dip, but this one has mushrooms and sour cream and cream cheese. Yes, those are the markings of a great dip!

poblano cream cheese dip in cactus ceramic bowl

Poblano Dip

Love poblanos? Then you will love this creamy Mexican style dip!

pimento cheese/white bowl/blue napkin

Pimento Cheese with Green Chiles

Every time the kids come home I try to have this in the fridge. This riff on standard pimento cheese has green chiles and peppadews to add extra flavor. Spread on burgers or crackers or make a grilled cheese with it!

guacamole with dried pineapple and scallions and tequila in blue and white bowl with blue corn chips

Guacamole

Who doesn't love guacamole? My version has a touch of tequila and chipotle and for extra flavor I added some dried pineapple. You won't believe how good it is!

Mediterranean Dip Recipes

tahini  dip with sesame seeds and turmeric

Tahini Ricotta Dip

Whipped cream cheese and sour cream makes this easy dip not quite as rich as many dips. This light, somewhat healthy dip, is a must for tahini lovers. With sesame and turmeric it is a unique combo to add to your easy dips files and no one can guess the ingredients!

antipasto layer dip with red peppers, pita chips, olives and artichoke hearts

7 Layer Bean Dip Antipasto

Made with white beans, this is a riff on a Mexican layer dip, except this one is made with olives and artichokes and red peppers-just clean out the fridge with this!

Greek dip recipes with hummus and tzatziki  and fresh tomatoes, cucmbers and feta

Greek Layer Dip

This Greek Layer Dip is made with store bought hummus and tzatziki and topped with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and Feta cheese. Something for everyone!

Real Hummus on plate with chickpeas and pita in background

Hummus

You'd be amazed how easy it is to make REAL hummus. And you will be gobsmacked to find out how delicious it is when served warm. So start soaking those garbanzos and make this appetizer dip!

Salsa Dips

roasted tomato salsa in blue striped bowl

Roasted Tomato Salsa

This is my very favorite salsa roja. In the summer I roast the tomatoes on the grill. When it's cold out, the oven works just fine. Watch this disappear!

roasted tomatillo salsa

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Love tomatillos? I love this green salsa. Add an avocado if you want and make this greener!

hominy and blueberry salsa in a lavender cactus bowl

Salsa with Hominy and Blueberries

An unusual combination, but totally good!

Salsa fresca or pico de gallo in a blue rimmed bowl

Pico de Gallo or Salsa Fresca

Made with fresh tomatoes, I make this easy version in a food processor. This is so fresh and good!

Asian Dips

Mapo Tofu Dip on Armenian plate

Tofu Dip with Mapo Tofu Sauce

Asian dips are hard to come by, but this one is made with tofu in a food processor. The texture is just like really creamy hummus and when mixed with garlic you don't even know it's tofu. This dip does have a few steps, but the results are worth it!

Thai peanut pork dip in white lotis bowl on an Asian plate

Thai Peanut Pork Dip

If you love peanut sauce you will love this Thai pork dip made with basically a peanut sauce. Serve with rice crackers or shrimp chips!

Hope you enjoy some of my best dip recipes. I've been making these for many years, so I hope you find your favorite and dip right in!
