When temps start climbing, we start reaching for some cooling dips to chill us out! Keep summer full of light, fresh eats with some simple, snack-worthy dips that you can whip up in less than 10 minutes.
White Bean Dip
Good-for-you white beans create the base for this dip from Love & Lemons that can be prepared in under 5 minutes. The four-ingredient recipe is jazzed up with lemon zest and garlic and can be modified to add in your favorite herbs like rosemary or basil to give it your own twist. Perfect for fresh summer veggie dipping!
Caramelized Shallot Yogurt
We love a good creamy dip, and this guilt-free recipe from Epicurious delivers. Healthy swaps like Greek yogurt make for a thick and rich dip but still keep it feeling light. Add in caramelized shallots, chives, and apple cider vinegar for a French oniony flavor that’s as equally delicious with chips as it is with chopped veggies.
Dill Pickle Dip
Calling all dill pickle lovers—this dip was made for you! Diced dill pickles and fresh dill are what make this addictive dip from State Fare in Houston loved by locals. This must-order app is served with housemade barbecue chips, but we know it’ll taste great with some crunchy veg, too.
Green Garden Hummus
If your herb garden is bursting with summery goodness, you’ll want to make this hummus from Goya Foods! It’s so bright, flavorful, and silky, it’ll disappear before you know it. Check out Chef Fernando Desa’s video as he shows us how this recipe easily comes together in less than five minutes.
Texas Pecan Hummus and Lemon Whipped Feta
Tanji went absolutely crazy for this dip duo from Katz’s Deli in Houston! Instead of using the traditional tahini paste in hummus, Katz’s swaps in pecans for a Texified twist. Serve it with the tangy whipped feta dip for a delicious pair you can dip together or separately.
Grand Aioli
A traditional Provençe-style dip, this garlicky French-inspired mayo is ready for more than just fresh veggies. Serve it as Bon Appétit does at the center of a brimming plate of veg, ham, shrimp, and eggs, and save any leftovers to smear on a sandwich the next day.
