With the Super Bowl coming up in a week, I know that there are plenty of people out there trying to come up with easy but tasty (and hopefully somewhat healthy!) munchies to bring to a party or have at their own place. As I mentioned in my last post when sharing my recipe for queso fresco black bean dip, I am most definitely an appetizer and dip lover. So, without further adieu, I thought I’d share 6 awesome dip recipes with you today:
French Onion Dip
I just whipped up my take of this classic yummy dip for the first time last New Year’s Eve. I liked it so much, I just may make it again on Sunday! Serve it with carrots, celery, pretzels, or (homemade) potato chips. You can check out the recipe here.
Spinach & Artichoke Dip
A lighter version than what you’ll find in restaurants all over the place, this dip is one of my all-time favorite football watching recipes. You can find the recipe here.
Avocado Hummus
In my opinion, you can never go wrong with hummus. It’s so easy to make, delicious and healthy. For a twist on classic hummus, throw some roasted red pepper in or make this avocado hummus.
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Dip
It’s well known that I’m obsessed with cinnamon, so coming up with a cinnamon dip was a no-brainer for me. It’s great to serve with your favorite fruit. Personally, I’ve been dipping cinnamon toast Pretzel Crisps into the dip because they’re out of this world yummy.
This 5-ingredient dessert dip recipe is new up on the Girls Gone Sporty website! You can find it here.
White Bean Pesto
I slightly altered this recipe from Chef Del’s Better Than Vegan cookbook, and my hubby and I have been eating it with everything, including as a sandwich spread, dipping veggies into it, or as pictured above, as a crostini topper. I even got a little fancy and threw some dried cranberries and cashews around the dish, which takes all of 10 seconds and adds a nice touch to the appetizer. Here’s the recipe:
White Bean Pesto
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh basil leaves
- 1 15- oz can cannellini or other white beans rinsed and drained
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- Sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
Yogurt & Cream Cheese Dip
This 4-ingredient sweet dip is great with fresh fruit. Fruit skewers like the ones pictured are always a hit! Check out the recipe here.
My fellow football watchers, do you have any fun Super Bowl plans? What food are you planning on making/eating for the game?
I’ll take a bowl of each dip – double of the cinnamon cream cheese please!
Think I can overnight ship them to you in Kuwait?! 😉
All of the dips look super tasty!!! I pinned this because I haven’t made any plans for next Sunday so I might add one or two of these!!
Nice! Does making some yummy grub and hanging out in your living room count as plans? Because that’s what I’m probably going to be doing! 😉
These all look so good, especially the cinnamon cream cheese dip! It’s great that all of them look pretty easy to make too.
They are! That’s the beauty of most dip recipes – they’re easy to make and yummy!
Spinach and artichoke dip absolutely! I don’t like football but these dips look great anyway…make for a snack with some veggies at work! (the savory ones, not the cinnamon one)!
Ooh yeah, spinach & artichoke dip would be great for that.
Ok! I have to try the avocado hummus, the cinnamon pretzel chips with the cinnamon cream cheese dip and the white bean pesto! So yum! I LOVE dips! I use them as spreads on everything.
We should just move close to each other already so that I can make you dips and you can teach me Zumba!!
