Dips are my favorite food. They are the reason I attend sports-watching get-togethers. I love their variety, from hot and cheesy to cool and minty, and there are few foods I have not used as a vehicle for said dips. Often just my fingers.
Each one here is easy to make with a food processor. Get on Amazon, pick out a machine, and two days later you’ll be knee-deep in these delicious dips. A few minutes, a few ingredients, and this one key piece of equipment will make you want to host the Super Bowl at your place. It’s the most adult purchase you’ll make before buying a house, so come on, stop waiting to get a wedding registry (and a fiancé)—be a grown-up and get a food processor—and then make these (mostly) healthy food processor recipes.
Any leftover dip makes a perfect sandwich condiment or quick pasta sauce for midweek meals!
