20 + Epic Dips for Game Day to get the party started! If you’re celebrating with friends watching the big game, there’s bound to be something here for you! There are vegan dips, vegetarian dips, super cheesy dips, seafood dips and more!
Hi friends! Being real right now.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again … I don’t watch many sports.
OK, I may watch figure skating during the Olympics and there was this one time I got a little excited when the Toronto Maple Leaf’s were in the playoffs (yeah, that was a let down), but on the norm, I’m don’t usually watch sports.
The food that goes along with it, though?
I say BRING IT!!
I will happily put on my little game day face. Heck, I’ll even wear a ‘GO TEAM’ shirt … if you feed me.
So, without further adieu and in the spirit of the season, I’ve rounded up 20 epic dips for game day! Sound good?

Vegan Dips & Vegetarian Dips (dips without meat)
Chunky Black Bean and Corn Salsa from me (Girl Heart Food): If you have 10 minutes, you can whip up these easy salsa recipe. It’s on the healthier side, too, so you can balance out more of those indulgent eats.

I’m a huge sports fan, and not just for the food–but some delicious snacks never hurt the situation! I don’t even know where to start with this round-up. Good thing the Super Bowl is almost here, and then we’ll almost be into March Madness. I can sample all of them!
Girl Heart Food
Thank you Kelsie! Hope you get to try some of them soon ๐

You know I’m a big fan of my dips, Dawn!! Loving this roundup, and just in time for Super Bowl! It’s making me hungry though…I shouldn’t have scrolled through so late at night! Yow!
Girl Heart Food
I do, I do ๐ And I completely understand! Thanks Katherine ๐
Haylie Abele
All of these dips look EPIC! I could eat my weight in each one…especially anything buffalo chicken! YUM! I usually don’t get too into football because I get too involved and I basically have heart palpitations haha because I want my team to win so bad. So that’s why I need a dip like this to distract me! Oh, and maybe a glass (or two) of wine!! Thanks for this round-up, girly!!
Girl Heart Food
I hear ya, Haylie! I hear ya! Wine with dip sounds just perfect, if you ask me ๐ Thanks so much, my friend.

David @ Spiced
As you know, I am a huge sports fan here. I don’t know where it came from since neither my mom nor dad are big into sports. But I’m hooked! And watching sports just requires gameday food…like these dips. I’m thinking I’m set for the next 10 weekends if I make 2 of these dips each weekend. ๐
Girl Heart Food
Lol…too funny! That sounds like quite the plan ๐ Thanks David.
Leanne Combden
This is definitely an epic dip line up Dawn! I love snacking year round, but I especially enjoy snacking during these cold winter months! And of course, these are also perfect for the super bowl. There are so many dips on the list that my husband and I would enjoy. Thanks for rounding them up!
Girl Heart Food
I agree! Always a good time for a snack ๐ Thanks so much Leanne.
