Heather W. at Better Homes and Gardens


In the great pantheon of Super Bowl Sunday snacks, dip is up there next to chicken wings and pigs-in-a-blanket. Dip is easy to prepare and share, you needn't bother with utensils, and, what's more, the crunchiness off fresh veggies, crackers, and chips helps work out everyone's aggression. Whether you're rooting for the Colts or bleeding black and gold for the Saints (or if you're mostly just excited for all the mid-day snacking) BHG.com shares four delicious dip recipes that take just 10 minutes to prepare.

Get the rest of your game plan together with BHG.com's Best Game-Day Snacks, hearty Slow-Cooker Appetizers and Top-Scoring Tailgating Recipes.

1. Savory Party Dip



Be ready for kickoff with this creamy Savory Party Dip featuring hints of garlic and green onion. Serve with seeded crackers, spicy pepperoncinis, and your favorite olive mix. Note: While double-dipping is not recommended, with this recipe it might be inevitable!

2. Smoked Salmon Dip


This decadent Smoked Salmon Dip has a smoky, refined flavor and rich texture, festively garnished with fresh chives and a cucumber slice. Serve with dippers such as fresh green peas, carrots, zucchini, or, if you're feeling fancy, toast points.

3. Arugula-Cannellini Dip


Some may say that "arugula" and "football" don't belong in the same sentence, but even meat-and-potatoes football fanatics will have trouble resisting this Arugula-Cannellini Dip. Hearty cannellini beans, garlic, and chopped tomato give this dip a fresh Mediterranean zip. Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or veggie slices.

4. Tangy Lemon-Caper Dip


You've made it through the half-time show, numerous penalty flags, and eight zillion beer commercials. In the event that your guests' energy begins to lag in the fourth quarter, enliven their palettes with the subtle citrus flavors of this Tangy Lemon-Caper Dip, garnished with fresh dill and thyme.
