I'm not much of a dipper myself; I like to eat chips, Doritos, etc., plain. Once in a while I'll try salsa or make something at home (mayo & hot sauce). Occassionally I like to dip pretzels or Ritz crackers in French dressing. If I'm out I don't dip because I don't like things with sour cream or cream cheese, and also I have no idea how long the dip has been sitting out.

Oh - do you "double-dip"? :laugh:

 

My favorite is probably a good red salsa, there's a good Mexican restaurant by us and I usually buy a pint at a time. We eat it with organic tortilla chips from Costco. The only other dip I use is onion dip made with dry Lipton Onion Soup, 3 small plain Chobani Greek Yogurts, and buy reduced fat Ruffles potato chips for that.

I remember that episode AC, so funny, loved Seinfeld. I do double dip, but only at home, not at someone's party. :p
 
I never ate a Dip that I didn't like. Love em all, Salsas, hot/cold/ Onion/Garlic/guacamole/
 

I like to try them all.

At Christmas/New Years I make a simple dip with a pint of sour cream and a packet of Lipton or Knorr dried vegetable recipe mix.

The leftovers are great in twice baked potatoes, macaroni and cheese or over hot linguine for a sort of fake Alfredo.
 
My favorite dip, if that's the right term, is cream cheese, the regular Philadelphia full fat bar. I like the dip size Fritos, using the chip to cut off a slice. Guacamole is good too along with sour cream with or without something added. I have actually mixed sour cream and Guacamole. I'm still not really sure about that.

Thanks for reminding me Lon, I love guacamole dip too. Usually make it when we're making homemade nachos, the eat the leftover guacamole dip with tortilla chips.

Ingredients:

4 large avocados (ripe)
1 (4 oz.) can of diced green chilies (mild), drained
1/2 small-med. onion finely diced
2 Roma tomatoes (finely diced)
SMALL touch of lemon or lime juice (to avoid browning)
sea salt to taste

Cut avocados lenghtwise, remove pits. Scoop out the avocados into a large bowl, and mash thoroughly with fork.

Add the onion, salt, lemon/lime juice and green chilies, and mix well.

VERY LAST, add the tomatoes, and fold into the mix, don't mash.

Chill in refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.
 
I like them all! Guacamole, hummus, salsa are my favorites. I make shrimp dip and clam dip at the holidays.
A sweetened cream cheese dip for Apple's, fruit is good too.
 
I like salsa and usually make my own, but I use it as a condiment for things like eggs more than I dip it. I'm pretty much the same way with guacamole, but I love my homemade hummus and I make my own pita for dipping. Anything dairy-based is not part of my diet, but I like plenty of others. My favorite Vietnamese restaurant makes the best dipping sauce for spring rolls, and I've learned to replicate it. I also make a mean shoyu/mirin sauce that I use for all kinds of things.

My special favorite is caramel sauce for dipping apple slices. Now that's heaven.

A Greek cucumber/yogurt sauce that is mostly found on gyro sandwiches. It's absolutely delicious.

I recently found a non-dairy recipe and thought I had died and gone to heaven.

Oh yum. I am currently munching on some homemade smoked salmon given to me by a First Nation friend. Best stuff ever, melts in your mouth. Great on triscuits with cream cheese and dill pickle slices.

I didn't smoke it, but I got a big salmon filet last week. My cat and I fought over it, but we both ate well for 3 days. I was too hungry for salmon to fire up my smoker, but I will next time. Tzatziki would be wonderful on salmon. That's for next time.
