    What to serve dips with

    You can serve dips with pita bread, pita chips, lavash or naan. I also like using different types of crackers and thin breads.

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    One of the best things about these dip recipes is that you can make them ahead of time. Generally, you can make dips up to 2 days in advance and enjoy them cold or at room temperature.

    Storage

    Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing the dips that contain dairy since the texture and flavor will not be the same. However, you can freeze dips such as hummus and thaw overnight before serving.
