Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup guacamole
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup queso dip
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cup spinach artichoke dip
- 1 cup buffalo chicken dip
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 1 cup of guacamole, 1 cup of salsa, 1 cup of queso dip, 1 cup of hummus, 1 cup of spinach artichoke dip, 1 cup of buffalo chicken dip, 1 cup of ranch dressing, and 1 cup of tzatziki sauce.
- Prepare your serving area by laying out a large platter or several small bowls to present the dips. This will make it easier for guests to sample each dip.
- Start with the guacamole. If you have homemade guacamole, scoop it into a bowl and smooth the top with a spatula. If using store-bought, simply transfer it to a serving bowl.
- Next, add the salsa to another bowl. If you like your salsa chunky, leave it as is; if you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend it slightly in a food processor.
- For the queso dip, warm it slightly in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds to 1 minute if you prefer it warm. Stir well and then transfer it to a serving bowl.
- For the hummus, you can also drizzle a little olive oil on top and sprinkle some paprika for added flavor and presentation.
- Prepare the spinach artichoke dip by placing it in a bowl. If it's store-bought, you can serve it cold or warm it up in the microwave for a creamy texture.
- The buffalo chicken dip can be served warm or cold. If you prefer it warm, heat it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes until it's heated through. Transfer to a bowl once warmed.
- Pour the ranch dressing into a small bowl. You can garnish it with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra touch.
- Finally, place the tzatziki sauce in a bowl. You can add a sprinkle of chopped cucumber or dill on top for garnish.
- Arrange all the bowls of dips on your serving platter. You can place them in a circle or in rows, depending on your preference.
- Serve the dips with a variety of dippers such as tortilla chips, pita chips, fresh vegetables (like carrots, celery, and bell peppers), and crackers.
- Enjoy your eight super dips with friends and family while tailgating!
Tips
- Prep in Advance: Most of these dips can be prepared hours or even a day before your event, saving you time on game day.

- Presentation is Key: Use a large platter or multiple bowls to create an impressive dip station that looks as good as it tastes.
- Variety of Dippers: Include a mix of chips, vegetables, and crackers to cater to different preferences.
- Keep Dips Fresh: Use small chafing dishes or keep cold dips on ice to maintain their temperature and quality.
- Garnish for Wow Factor: A sprinkle of herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dash of paprika can elevate your dips from good to gourmet.
- Label Your Dips: Use small signs or tags to help guests identify each delicious option.
