So you thought all party dips were just French onion soup mix blended with some sour cream? Obviously not. And just as you’ve seen the cool, easy recipes to jazz up your soiree, keep in mind that dips’ dippers don’t have to always just be chips! Serve up some sliced veggies, water crackers, Italian breadsticks (grissini), vanilla wafers, graham crackers, sliced jicama, sliced pears and apples are just a few of the yummy choices for your guests. And the most important thing to remember about party dips? NO DOUBLE DIPPING. What are you, cavemen? Provide your guests with serving spoons and plates so they can serve themselves and dip from their own plates.
