Summer entertaining should be simple. Cookouts, family reunions, and pool parties are all about unwinding, which means it's all the more important to prepare a menu with little fuss, but lots of flavor. For nearly effortless summer appetizers, there's only one way to go: one bowl, and very few steps. These summery one-bowl dips do just that: the procedure is simple but the results deliver, making these one-bowl dip recipes a speedy, yet sharable summer staple.

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 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.
Fresh Pineapple Salsa

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 blend so beautifully that my whole family raved about it."
Easy Cheese Dip
![Easy Cheese Dip](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/83f1DCauctda5BcZvPRI_OD0xBk=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/Easy-Cheese-Dip-by-bd.weld_-2000-3cff17407375445388c8b3014e2b099f.jpg)
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.

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."
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.
Seattle Smoked Salmon Dip
![seattle smoked salmon dip](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/1Bqr0fSmcaGIXSTrEJ8vRx1oyWY=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/4462875-dc2eb4e08fe1495f92923cbcb741f4b5.jpg)
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.

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.

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
![Creamy Dill Dipping Sauce](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/2uwiHzykDGkO_IM1HhtXnEd90as=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/5183120-2000-b3be2a16518a475394252a7fce19d467.jpg)

This ooey, gooey and delightfully cheesy dip comes together in 15 minutes, and the only tools you need are a bowl and your microwave. For more flavor, make the cream cheese and herb mixture a day in advance.

![shrimp salsa](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/nrWBnniQKg-25d6PslRhk8G49K0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/214182-Shrimp-Salsa-ed7708bcd7d74a54868626fa38f95b97.jpg)
Add a little protein to your salsa by adding salad shrimp to the mix. The flavors combine in the fridge, and the longer this sits, the better it gets. Tortilla chips will never be the same.
