Any interesting combinations of ingredients? Store bought dips taste terrible to me. The only recipe I have for homemade is a sauce recipe that might work as a dip. May6onaise, yogurt, and sour cream in equal parts.
I totally agree: the other say I did a mixture of cream cheese, artichoke spread from Trader Joes, and pesto It was really good. I think I got the pesto from Fresh Market or maybe Aldi's. I am not sure. I sometimes I make my own pesto in the fall, just before the basil goes to sleep for the winter, but am out of it now. this one I used was better than my homemade pesto.
The only chips I eat these days (and only rarely) are tortilla/corn chips. For some reason, I got hooked on eating my chili with them, I blame the New Belgium brewery place in the Denver airport. So, with ground-beef chili (and whatever toppings you normally like there). Next up is with garden-fresh salsa, again and million and one ways to do this though mine tends to be roma, green onion, garlic, aji pepper, sometimes anaheim pepper, cilantro, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, pepper and Maybe some cumin/other spices if I'm craving that taste. The last/most rare "dip" is actually a meatless filling for burritos (though it can easily be done with ground beef, I just try to do a veggie meal once a week). It's sauted onion, cumin, oregano, chili, garlic, black beans, soy crumbles, salsa, shredded cheddar and cream cheese mixed into a warm cheesy mess. I always end up with more than will fit in my baking dish, so it turns into appetizer before dinner (and in some cases we simply save the burritos for dinner the next night).
My folks were big fans of the sour cream and onion soup packet mix though. Seems to be the most basic/common of the dips for plain chips (and is equally good with veggies, if you're looking to cut out some overly-processed junk food from your consumption).
Remember when the sour cream onion soup dip first entered the market. It was the mid 50s and called CA dip. we rarely have chips and I didn't grow up this them, but they work fine for special occasions. We use baked chips if at all or pieces on flavored toast rounds.
In the 70s when our neighborhood had many pot luck get togethers, dill dip was hugely popular. I think it was just dried dill stirred into sour cream, but not sure. I don’t think anyone’s palate was sophisticated enough to even think of using fresh dill.

let it sit overnight...it's a hit.
