5-ingredient Dip
Tuna Cream Cheese
Cheesy Olive
For a creamy dip that can be put together in minutes, try this 5-minute, 3-ingredient recipe that is also great for picnics and in between sandwiches! (Over 40 5-star reviews!)
P.S. Sprinkle in some green onions to give the dish a pop of color or add some onion powder and garlic powder if you want to vary the flavor.
Salsa Cream Cheese
Most importantly, remember to have the ingredients at the same temperature, or the cream cheese will curdle as shown above!

Feel free to use red pepper flakes or chilli flakes if you don't have paprika on hand.

Hummus
Chickpeas & Spinach
Who says football food ideas have to be unhealthy? Try these hummus dips for quick and easy healthy dips!
Chocolate
I personally love savory dips, but for those with a sweet tooth, here are some sweet dips.
You can serve this unusual hummus with fresh fruit such as strawberries and raspberries.
Beetroot Hummus
Spicy
Tuna
This is a good dip if you have stronger taste buds and want something with a bit more flavor that can be made with pantry ingredients for football season.
You can even serve it as a curry if you reduce the simmering time, so it has more sauce- great way to use up a can of tuna!
Basic Avocado

Guacamole
What is a football Super Bowl party without a range of dips? Creamy avocado spread is a great companion to cream cheese dips!
Spinach Artichoke
Tip: if you can't get fresh spinach, or if it's very expensive where you live, frozen spinach is also a good choice for veggie dips!
Everything Bagel
Sambal Oelek Mayo
Gochujang Mayo
Nachos
When you think of food for Game Day, nachos are 1 of the 1st items to come to mind!
Note: plain corn tortilla chips are perfect for those with celiac disease as they are naturally gluten-free. You do need to check the packaging if you want certified GF (especially since they may be processed in the same facility as other non-gluten free foods.) If you can't get corn chips, substitute with some GF potato chips or gluten-free crackers instead.
Loaded
Note: if you can't get chili powder, feel free to use cayenne pepper instead.
Air Fried
Black Bean
A delicious cheesy bean dip!
Tip: If you can't get yoghurt, substitute with creamy sour cream (the 3 main ingredients are GF so most- but not all- brands of sour cream are gluten-free friendly.)
If you're looking for healthy recipes, skip the nachos. You can always have these dips with fresh veggies such as baby carrot sticks, and cucumber batons or air-fried chicken wings instead.
Breadsticks are a great option too!

Thank you for dropping by Olga! I love to eat too- it's why I started cooking actually! (Moved to a small town in UK in the early 00s and the food scene wasn't amazing at the time) Hope your family likes the onion dips!
