National Chip and Dip Day
Chips and dip are the perfect snack duo for any occasion. Whether you prefer tortilla chips, potato chips, or pretzels, chances are that there is a delicious dip to compliment it!
This appetizer may be prepared in advance for easy party planning. The recipes for chips and dip can also be easily expanded or shrunk depending on the number of people attending the party.
Hummus and other types of dipping sauces have been part of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines for centuries. Though these chip and dip recipes appeared in other parts of the world, they did not appear in the United States until after World War II.
To celebrate National Chip and Dip Day, invite some friends over today for a potluck style chip and dip party. The possibilities are endless for the various combinations of chips and dip you can enjoy, so use your imagination!
