Presentation Tips for Party Dips:

All you need is a bowl for the dip and a platter or plate for the dippers, right? You knew that.

But you may not have realized that a hollowed out round of French bread, small pumpkin or melon, orange or grapefruit, red or green cabbage, tomato, or head of lettuce makes a great bowl. So does a large mug.

But a neat, attractive arrangement of dippers on a simple dish is a real thing of beauty, too. Colorful veggies, for instance, do not need adornment. Wouldn't you agree?

The case for party dip recipes rests in their variety and versatility; they're quick and easy to prepare, attractive, and undemanding of the host. They taste great and feed a crowd, too.
