What are cold dips?
Cold dips are just what they sound like! Dips that do not need to be heated or served warm. These are cold dips that you can serve as is and then refrigerate so that you can enjoy any leftovers the next day or throughout the week.
I consider cool summer dips anything that doesn’t need to be heated to be at its best, any dip recipe that can be enjoyed chilled or straight from the fridge. They’re perfect for parties, just like these best summer potluck recipes.
When to prepare summer party dips:
You can prepare summer party dips all year long. The name mostly comes from the fact that we end up eating a lot of these cool dip recipes during the summer months.
I like to prepare the dip recipes themselves ahead of time too because it gives the flavors time to really meld together. If you like to meal prep you can whip up a batch or two to enjoy throughout the week.
If you are trying to get your kiddos to eat more veggies having delicious cold dips readily available is great because they’ll enjoy dipping fresh carrots, celery, cucumbers, and even pepper slices into them!
