Amazing Super Bowl Party Dips That Aren’t Guacamole
Sick of guacamole? Me either – I could eat it forever! Still, if you’re looking to change up the dips you serve this superbowl, here’s a roundup of non-guacamole options that are healthy and delicious.
There are options for every dietary restriction – all are gluten-free, most are paleo, and some are vegan and dairy-free as well. I’ve included helpful labels to let you know which categories they fall into.
Easiest – Homemade Ranch Dip
Gluten-Free, No Sugar Added
Ranch Dip – it’s a crowd-pleasing classic, not to be underestimated! Mix a cup of sour cream with 1 – 2 tablespoons of these dried herbs and spices and a few sprinkles of salt. Let it sit for a couple of hours and ta-da! Instant ranch dip without any preservatives, thickeners, or stabilizers!
Spiciest – Paleo Chipotle Dipping Sauce
Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Sugar Added, Vegan
This sauce is clean as a whistle, nutritionally, and might just clean your sinuses as well. Two chipotle peppers make it one spicy dip, so it will be a hit with those who like a little heat on their chips.
Add Some Red – Red Roasted Pepper Hummus
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Sugar Added, Vegan
How about an appropriately-colored dip to match the jerseys for the game? If you love hummus, but want a bit of color, this is the recipe for you. Roasted red peppers and smoked paprika make this delicious hummus Buccaneer or KC Chiefs red, so both sides will love it.
Beanless “Hummus” – Green Pea Hummus
(sort of) Paleo, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Sugar Added, Vegan
This is my all-time favorite dip, and a fantastic alternative to guacamole, if for no other reason than it’s green. The green peas add a wonderful sweetness to this dip, which is different than the other very salty dips above. Note that it’s “sort of” paleo – depending on how strict a Paleo follower you are, green peas may or may not be for you.
Chunky-Style: Cowboy Caviar
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No Sugar Added, Vegan
Grab your favorite knife, because there will be some chopping involved! While Cowboy Caviar is not a new recipe, it’s still a great one. If you want a step up from salsa out of the jar and something a little more substantial, too – this one’s for you! Make is spicy or mild by modifying how much jalepeño you add.
