Bacon-Cheddar Ranch Dip

1 - 1 oz. pk. Hidden Valley Ranch Dip mix

Hot French Onion Dip

Fruit Dip

1 - 8 oz. thawed whip cream topping

1 - 8 oz. soft cream cheese (can use a fruit flavored one)

Carmelized Onion Dip from Alton Brown - Use sweet Vidalia onions for this...it's simple and fantastic - you'll NEVER buy pre-made onion dip again!

I have not tried this but Michael Symon said it is the best.

Clinton Kelly's Sour Cream and Onion Dip

Contributed by: Clinton Kelly

There's nothing better than a sour cream and onion dip. Give this one a try at your next party.

2 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 large Yellow Onion (cut into even 1/4-inch

thick rings)

1 clove Garlic (minced)

1 1/2 cup Sour Cream

3/4 cup Mayonnaise

Kosher Salt

Pepper

ingredients

2 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 large Yellow Onion (cut into even 1/4-

inch thick rings)

Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion,

and season with a large pinch of salt, then toss to coat in oil.

1 clove Garlic (minced) Arrange the onion into an even layer in the pan, and cook stirring

occasionally, but retaining an even layer. Cook until the onions

caramelize, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the

garlic.

1 1/2 cup Sour Cream

3/4 cup Mayonnaise

Kosher Salt

Pepper

Combine remaining ingredients in a food processor. Add the

onions, garlic, and season with black pepper. Pulse until

thoroughly combined, then transfer to the refrigerator. Serve chilled.

Today's email from The Pioneer Woman had her Veggie Cream Cheese Spread recipe which is a little bit thicker than a ""dip"" but you could thin it out with a little yogurt or sour cream or mayo. It looked really delicious and healthy as it had a bunch of veggies in it. I plan to make some to use as a dip.

1 bunch chopped cilantro
2 avocados, diced

Directions

Mix all ingredients together. Top with Avocado just before serving.

Black Bean Mango Salsa
3 - 4 Mangos - peeled, seeded, and diced

1 - (10 oz) can white shoe-peg corn, drained or 10 oz frozen yellow corn, thawed
2 - Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 - Tablespoon red onion, diced
1 - lime, juiced

Everyone loves this when I serve it. Red Pepper Jelly, Cream Cheese and Crackers. So simple too. A bowl of red pepper jelly or hot pepper jelly, a bowl of cream cheese, and a platter of crackers. Put a spreader in each bowl and set the bowls on a platter with the crackers. They disappear fast.
