1. Baked Vegetable Chips and Hummus
One of my personal favorite chips and dips combinations is baked vegetable chips and hummus. It is a healthy version for what is essentially a not-so-nutritious appetizer! Baked vegetable chips kill your potato chips cravings and the hummus adds on a rich flavor in addition to its creamy texture. This combination is mouthwatering!
2. Tortilla Chips and Salsa
Ah, who doesn’t love salsa? It’s so refreshing and the balance between the saltiness and the sweetness proves why salsa has become one of the best selling condiments. While most of the time anything that tastes great is usually bad for your health, homemade salsa proves otherwise. It is low in cholesterol, fat and calories, so the only thing you have to control is your chips intake.
For those with a knack for DIY, whipping up a batch of homemade salsa is as delightful as it’s nutritious. Play with ripe tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and a squeeze of lime for that perfect zesty punch. Don’t forget the jalapeños if you’re after some heat. And when it comes to the tortilla chips, opting for baked versions over fried can be a healthier choice. Pair them together, and you’ve got a snack that not only satisfies your taste buds but also keeps the guilt at bay. Just remember, moderation is key – it’s too easy to get carried away!
Frequently asked questions
3. Taro Chips and Garlic Cheese Dip
Taro chips are a great alternative to potato chips; they come from a white-fleshed root vegetable that has 30% less fat and more fiber than a regular potato! And they taste just as delicious, especially with garlic cheese dip. Just try out this delicious combination yourself!
The taro chips offer a delightfully unique alternative, boasting a slightly nuttier flavor compared to their potato counterparts. When these crunchy slices are paired with the creamy richness of a homemade garlic cheese dip, it's a match made in snack heaven! The dip, infused with the bold taste of garlic and the smooth, melty indulgence of cheese, complements the earthiness of the taro perfectly. It's a sophisticated twist on the classic chip and dip that will elevate any gathering or simply upgrade your solo snack time.
4. Pita Chips and Spinach-artichoke Dip
Oftentimes I have to resist the urge of just skipping out on chips and diving into the spinach-artichoke dip with a spoon. It’s that good! However, if we were to go in with chips, the only thing that perfectly complements its delicious and creamy nature is a bowl of pita chips. However, ladies, remember to control your portions, although I know it might be hard to.
5. Potato Chips and Onion Dip
If this is your cheat day and you are feeling extra indulgent, potato chips and onion dip can make for a yummy snack. However, if this is not the luxury you can afford at this moment, you can always make healthy substitutes, such as carrots for chips and Greek yogurt instead of mayo and sour cream in the onion dip.
6. Wonton Chips and White Bean Dip
Wonton chips are one of my favorite snacks, and they could be incorporated into a variety of dishes to add on a different texture. Plus you can make them sweet or salty, it all depends on what you are craving. But truthfully, I enjoy pairing them up with white bean dip the most!
7. Tostitos Scoops and Guacamole Dip
Good old guacamole, we can’t possibly miss this combination on this list! It is a definite must have for any get-together with friends, or a party. The creamy texture of the dip with chunks of tomatoes and onions mixed with Tostidos scoops is something worth dying for! Yum!
Just like the majority of the world’s population, I am a very big fan of chips and dips combinations. These starters are easy to make but don’t scrimp on the taste, which is why they are so convenient to serve at get-togethers. What is one of your ultimate favorite chips and dips combinations?
