25 Summer Dips That Will Keep Your Party Going

Dips are absolutely a complete food group for the Delish team. From queso to baked spinach-artichoke dip, these amazing dip recipes are easy to whip up, amazing on carrots, toasted baguette, and pita bread, and can really please a crowd.

When you really think about it, dips really encapsulate a meal's worth of flavors. They can be cheesy and indulgent, like skillet beer cheese and jalapeño popper dip. Or topped with plenty of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices, like our muhammara, hummus, and tzatziki. And of course, savory and hearty like our cheesy mini meatball skillet dip, hot crab dip, and buffalo chicken dip.

Looking for some lighter, cooler dips? It doesn't get any better than our creamy avocado dip, guacamole, homemade salsa, and sour cream and onion dip. We also love our sikil p'ak (pumpkin seed salsa) for a fun, exciting spin on your regular ol' chips and salsa routine, especially served with plantain chips.

So whether you're making a party spread or just want an appetizer that turns into a meal (or to top a sandwich, chicken, or roasted vegetables), we've got all the dips to get your summer party going (and keep it going).

And if you have leftovers? Lucky you. We love taking any and all leftover dips to add to all of our favorite main dishes. Use that cheesy bacon spinach dip for making spinach artichoke chicken breasts. Buffalo chicken dip goes amazing in a melt, on a buffalo chicken pizza, and stuffed in buffalo stuffed mushrooms. And it goes without saying that any of our salsa recipes are killer on your next breakfast tacos and burritos.
