In the summer I love snacking on homemade dips. Sometimes I will even make a lunch out of it. A few crackers, some veggie sticks and some goat cheese and sun dried tomato spread and I'm a happy camper. I am obsessed with dips. I am the girl at the party that doesn't leave the food table because she is too addicted to the chips and salsa- literally. Here are 5 essential dips from staples like guacamole to the more exotic muhammara. Dips are obviously great party food, make sure your guests have a variety of dippers to choose from. I like crostini, pita chips, veggie sticks, and even slices of apple.
