Photo collage of summer dip recipes

Last night I had a pinch me moment as I watched a massive thunderstorm roll in while listening to the cicadas screaming in the trees (my favorite sound of summer,) then sat and watched the rain fall and fall (and fall, my goodness).

The only thing that could have made the moment more summery is if lightening bugs could blink and fly in torrential rain. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, VIVA SUMMER!

Today I’m also screaming “VIVA DIPS!” because summer is dips’ time to shine. Dunked into with chips, crudite or, my personal favorite, a spoon, they compliment any warm-weather occasion. BBQs, picnics, deck sailing, pool/lake day, girl’s night – you get the idea!

That said, today I’m sharing my best, most tasty and irresistible summer dip recipes to make before the sun sets on this glorious season. From savory dip recipes perfect for pairing with tortilla chips, to fresh sweeter dips that enhance summer’s freshest fruit, you cannot go wrong with any of these incredible recipes!

    Cicadas are my favorite sound of summer as well. Part of my daily routine is sitting on our back deck in the evenings and listening to them. These dips look yummy. I’ll have to give them a try.

    I just love that last one! I have, somehow, 2 rather large jars of fig jam, and I never know what to do with them once I’ve made a recipe I’ve bought them for. This sounds yummy, and when things get back to normal, it’s perfect for bringing to a small event with friends. (Almost forgot what those are!) Enjoy your summer! We’re now in Florida, and summer is just a thing to be gotten through.
