23 One-Bowl Dip Recipes for Summer

Dill Pickle Dip

Sadly, not everything can be a pickle. But for the things that can't be pickled, there's this Dill Pickle Dip. Try using freshly chopped dill instead (you'll need three times as much what the recipe calls for in dried dill) for even better flavor.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Dip

This Buffalo chicken dip has a lot going on, but it's far less complicated than it seems thanks to a few hours in the slow cooker. The shredded chicken breasts come out super tender and make a perfect companion for the cream, cheese, and wing sauce mixture.

Guacamole

Guacamole is never a bad idea, especially since it comes together so easily. Minced garlic and fresh lime juice are key ingredients here since they add powerful flavor and keep the avocado from turning brown.

Jalapeño Popper Spread

This dip tastes just like the inside of a jalapeño popper, which means everyone's going to want some more. If you mix these ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, this crowd-pleasing dip will come together even faster.

Fresh Pineapple Salsa

Whip up this pineapple salsa for a speedy, satisfying dip, or serve it as an accomplice to fish or chicken. This salsa maintains the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and it's refreshing no matter how it's served.

It doesn't get much easier than this three-ingredient dip that comes together with a little bit of stirring and a few rounds in the microwave. Enjoy as-is, either hot or cold, or use it as a base for something a little more complex.

Chilean Pebre Sauce

Pebre sauce, a mixture of cilantro, garlic, tomatoes, and scallions, packs a serious punch whether it's used as a dip or spread. Reviewer Sandman5756 says, "The chili-garlic sauce gives it a real kick, and the flavors bled so beautifully that my whole family raved about it."

Tuscan Cream Cheese Spread

Artichoke hearts, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, chives, and parsley give cream cheese an elegant twist in this one-bowl dip. It pairs best with crackers or crusty bread, but it would also bring a lot of flavor to sliced veggies like carrots, cucumbers, and celery.

Pico de Gallo

Unless you're some kind of tomato hater, pico de gallo brings brightness to everything it touches. "Growing up in Central California, I was fortunate enough to eat authentic Mexican food on a regular basis," says reviewer Debbie Hinds. "This is what Pico de Gallo should taste like."

Seattle Smoked Salmon Dip

Guacamole seasoning isn't just for avocados. Case in point? This Seattle smoked salmon dip, which gets its irresistible flavor from that unexpected ingredient. Flaked smoked salmon, cheddar cheese, lemon juice, and cream cheese round everything out to make a dip that's just begging to be eaten.

Mango Salsa

This sweet salsa triumphs as a dip, but it's also excellent as an accompaniment to fish. Use fresh, ripe mangoes for best results, and prepare this salsa early so the flavors have time to blend.

Cowboy Caviar

This Southern staple relies on a secret weapon: Italian dressing. The beans and corn sop up the dressing's flavor, while the chopped cilantro, pickled jalapenos, and garlic salt bring savory notes into the mix.

Creamy Dill Dipping Sauce

This five-ingredient dip comes together easily and even works as a sauce for fish. If you don't have any fresh dill on hand, use half the amount of dried dill.
