When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip: Healthy Dips For Super Bowl Weekend

Calling All Dippers and Chippers! February 12 is the 2023 Super Bowl LVII, and what better way to celebrate this annual sporting event than by enjoying the deliciousness of a chip and dip combo with some family and friends? While there are a variety of food options you can choose from for your Super Bowl menu, you can’t go wrong with a good chip and dip.

So what chips and dips should you try? Well, for starters if you are having a Super Bowl party, have each one of your guests bring chips and dip so everyone can enjoy a variety of snacks and have your phone so you can share the yumminess on social media using #SuperBowl.

While we strive to eat healthily, this is Super Bowl Sunday so it’s OK to indulge a little bit.

Let’s dip into this!

Guacamole

What’s better than guacamole for Super Bowl Sunday? There are many ways to make guacamole. It can be as simple as avocado slices, and lime, with the options of adding tomatoes, cilantro, or even parmesan cheese. The great thing about avocados is that they are very nutritious. They are high in fiber and potassium.

Avocados help lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, regulate blood and sugar levels, promote healthy bones, strengthen the immune system, aid in weight loss, and are anti-inflammatory.

Ingredients

3 Avocados
1 Tomato, diced (optional)
Freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
Pepper, seasoning salt, and Old Bay seasoning
Salt (optional)

Instructions

Peel and de-seed avocados and place them in a serving bowl. Mash until smooth. Add seasonings (to taste), diced tomatoes, and freshly squeezed lemon juice and stir. Be festive and add cilantro, cayenne pepper, or parmesan. Chill or serve right away with your favorite tortilla chips.

Crab Dip

This is my guilty indulgence. Growing up my grandmother always made this crab dip and when I want to enjoy a not-so-healthy snack, this is it. By the way, I believe in the 80/20 rule. 80% eating healthy and 20% indulging.
