Easy Make-Ahead Cold Party Dips
1. Healthy Garden Veggie Dip
First up is my OG chilled veggie dip. Typically cold veggie dips are seasoned with an array of seasonings mixed with some dehydrated or powdered veggie situation to give it a burst of flavor. I like to take things one step further and season my veggie dip with fresh herbs, veggies, and a few dried seasonings to take the flavor up notch.
The combination always results in someone trying to dunk their hand (or face!) into the bowl. I’m surrounded by class acts, I tell ya!
2. Healthy Avocado Cilantro White Bean Dip
This healthy veggie dip is crazy amazing! This is the kind of dip you wind up going back for “just one more bite” so many times that you finally cave and hover over the bowl like it’s your sole duty to protect it from double dippers.
3. Veggie Tray with Chilled French Onion Dip Recipe
Veggie trays are hands-down my favorite party appetizer to make in advance.
Raw veggies can easily be washed, sliced, and stored in the fridge ahead of time plus cold veggie dip is so simple to make in advance and tastes even better the next day!

This delish dip always vanishes fast and has the most wonderful reviews from friends, family, and readers alike! It’s fantastic served with pita chips, tortilla chips, warm flatbread, cucumber slices, fresh/toasted baguette slices, or halved sweet mini peppers.
5. Spicy Feta Dip
This recipe yields a little over a cup and a half of feta dip. It can be easily doubled or tripled for a larger crowd and makes the most amazing addition to Mediterranean Mezze Platters, Charcuterie Boards, and Cheese Boards.

Questions & Reviews
Is the dip recipe book for sale
Hi Donna! There isn’t a book but each title for the recipes is a clickable link and will take you to the recipe with a printable recipe card — this way you can choose your favorites and make them for free! xo
I came across your DIY Guacamole Seasoning, but I can’t find your “GO-To Guacamole Recipe. Please share it with me. Thank you!
Hi Martha! The recipe is inside the DIY Guacamole Seasoning post. Here is the recipe for 2 avocado’s worth:
2 ripe HAAS Avocado
1-2 tsp of Mrs. Renfro’s Green Salsa (or your favorite jar of salsa verde!)
1/4-1/3 cup chopped, ripe tomato (sometimes I add fresh minced jalapeño too)
1/2 tsp of lime juice for a fruity burst of acidity
fresh cilantro to taste
You will also add the seasoning blend (I quadruple the recipe and just keep it in a jar for when I need it) and mix well.
Combine all ingredients, minus the tomatoes. Mash to desired consistency, top with diced tomatoes and dig in! I like mine on the chunkier side — It sticks to the chips better.
