Whether you’re hosting a potluck dinner, backyard BBQ, birthday celebration at home, or Super Bowl party, dip is a delicious menu option!
When it comes to picking the right dip for your party, you have three basic options:

What do you serve with dip for parties?
After you have decided on the type of dip you’re going to serve, you’ll need to give your party guests something to dip! Luckily, there are tons of delicious dipping options for you to choose from, like:
- Chips: The most popular dipping option to serve at a party is chips. Depending on the type of dip you make, you could serve it with potato chips, tortilla chips, corn chips, bagel chips, or pita chips.
- Vegetables: Another popular way to present your dip at your party is by serving it with some fresh veggies. While not all vegetables are good for dipping, there are several options to serve with your dip, like cucumber slices, baby carrots, bell pepper slices, celery stalks, grape tomatoes, and carrot sticks.
- Crackers: Give your guests plenty of options for dipping by adding some crackers to your party table. Most cracker varities work well with dips — especially cold dips. You can serve Ritz crackers, club crackers, saltines, Wheat Thins, Townhouse crackers, Nut Thins, Triscuits, and Good Thins.
- Pretzels: Make sure you serve something crunchy for your party guests to snack on by serving some pretzels with your dip. You can serve traditional pretzels, soft pretzels, pretzel rods, pretzel crackers, or pretzel chips.
- Cookies: If you’re serving dessert dips, add a few sweet dippers to your party table! Plain cookies, like animal crackers, vanilla wafers, and graham crackers are perfect for pairing with a sweet dip.
