Tips for the Best Dip Platter

For a party, try serving two or more of these dips together so guests have a mix of flavors and textures.

Keep hot dips warm in small slow cookers or warming dishes if they will be sitting out for a while.

Cold dips taste better after resting in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes because the flavors have more time to develop.

Use a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, crackers, toasted bread, pretzels, celery, carrots, and cucumber slices to make the table more colorful and interesting.

If preparing the dips ahead of time, cover them tightly and refrigerate until needed. Hot dips can be assembled in advance and baked shortly before serving.
