Vegetarian Dips FAQ
What are some quick dip recipes?
Quick dip recipes come together in a few steps and need little work beyond stirring or blending a handful of ingredients together. Some of our favorites include guacamole, cowboy caviar, Kenai dip and most fruit dips. For warm dips, like Buffalo, cheese, and spinach and artichoke, you can’t go wrong with a slow cooker dip recipe. They’re a big time saver since you can just add the ingredients, turn it to low and let the cooker do the work for you.
What can I serve with vegetarian dips?
Vegetarian dips pair well with fresh veggies like carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, celery or sugar snap peas. Choose an assortment of different-colored vegetables cut into sticks or rounds for easy dipping. Set out potato chips, crackers, pita chips, slices of toasted bread or tortilla chips for a salty option.
If you’re building an appetizer spread, serve these vegetarian dips with other meat-free bites like stuffed mushrooms or caprese skewers.
What are make-ahead tips for vegetarian dips?
Vegetarian dips are great for prepping ahead, especially chilled dips that get even better with time as the flavors blend and balance each other. Mix the dip a day or two in advance and refrigerate in airtight containers. Wait to add crunchy toppings until just before serving, and don’t forget to taste the dip and adjust the seasoning, as needed.
If you’re making a warm dip, like a baked feta or cheesy bean dip, assemble it in advance right in the baking dish, cover and refrigerate. Then pop it into a preheated oven just before party time. You can also wash, slice and store your dipping veggies ahead of time in the fridge to save on last-minute chopping.
