Bring a Dip to a Party
Lynley Jones
So, you're heading to a party this weekend, and want to bring something delicious, yet fairly simple. (Been there.) Dips to the rescue! Spend less than 30 minutes whipping up one of these babies, then grab some chips or veggies on the way. And voila - you, my friend, are the life of the party.
Addictively tasty Mexican dip for chips, or spread for veggie burgers or sandwiches.

Classic Mexican side, dip for chips, or ingredient for tostadas or burritos. (And please don't call it junk food.)
Festive latke topping made from sour cream and ricotta, with crushed pomegranate seeds, lemon juice, parsley and Ceylon cinnamon. An herby-sweet, chunky pink topping or dip. Also great with potato chips, pita chips or crackers.
Super-simple, with scallions, garlic and a pinch of salt blended with sour cream. Serve as a veggie dip or latke topping.
Mild, creamy dip with a hint of goat cheese tang. Perfect for crudite or chips, as a spread on sandwiches or to dollop on veggies.
Minced carrot-tops with basil, garlic and parmigiano-reggiano make the perfect dip for carrots - or any other veggie!
A super-simple hors d'oeuvre to showcase those gorgeous spring chive blossoms.
Salsa made from garlic, roasted tomatoes and serrano chiles, ground together in a molcajete (mortar and pestle) and served warm.
