The Basic Vegetable Dip
I remember the vegetable dip being standard party fare while growing up in the midwest in the 70's. But it's true that some things never go out of style. Spinach dip is always a hit and some popular chain restaurants have launched artichoke dips into the mainstream. We've also got lots of recipes for your basic dill and onion dips which go with everything from chips to veggie dippers.
Sassy Salsa
Salsa has grown in popularity in the US over the years and is used as a dip but also as a condiment to meat and fish. Try a sweet tomato pineapple salsa or a hot and spicy corn and black bean version.
The New Kid On The Block: Hummus
Even though hummus has been around for centuries in the middle east, it's become a new favorite in the rest of the world in recent years. Traditionally it is made from chickpeas and tahini but you'll see we've collected some recipes that offer a new twist like pumpkin hummus or spinach hummus.
