When it comes to dips, you can get creative on both ends.
Here is a mix-and-match dip and dunk guide for all kinds of occasions and moods. Whether you have a savory tooth, or if you prefer crunch over chewy or vice versa, there’s something for everyone here.

In the world of dips and spreads, your dipping instrument is a key part of your trip to flavortown. There are many ways you could go with this one, but to make things easier, we’ve broken them down into three categories:
The Dip Itself
When it comes to dips, the possibilities are too endless. The first question at hand is flavor? Do you want salty or sweet? Smooth or textured? As far as savory dips go, hummus and salsa dips are a classic and delicious roue to take, always. For a complimentary dip that provides a soothing, yet herbaceous contribution to the snack table, try a Greek yogurt dip. Also known as tzatziki dip, Greek yogurt dips are typically comprised of yogurt, spices, lemon, garlic, and cucumber and taste excellent with practically any food.
If you’re looking for a dip on the sweet, side, you also have plenty of options. For a great peanut butter dip, blend plain cream cheese, peanut butter and powdered sugar together. Then, top with chocolate chips and dunk with pretzels, graham crackers, or even pita chips! You can also opt for sweet greek yogurt dips, made with vanilla and honey, and dip fruit into them.
