25 Summer Dip Recipes You'll Want to Make on Repeat

When it comes to summer appetizers, you can never go wrong with chips and dip. From salsa to hummus, there are recipes to complement any party. While we’ve covered extravagant layer dips before, these recipes keep things simple and approachable. For example, this Creamy Avocado Dip is a light, tangy alternative to guacamole and takes just five minutes to whip up. The avocado and sour cream combo is super smooth, and Parmesan and lime juice give acidity and depth. Serve it with tortilla chips or veggies, or on the side with grilled chicken or steak.

Greek yogurt’s thicker texture eliminates the need to drain yogurt in cheesecloth as most commonly seen in tzatziki recipes. Wringing out the moisture from your cucumber ensures that the tzatziki stays thick and creamy. We chose fresh dill and mint over dried to provide the brightest flavor possible.
