If you plan on attending a Super Bowl party, you will probably encounter hummus, queso dip, salsa, spinach artichoke dip, and maybe a french onion dip. There's nothing wrong with these standard offerings, but if you want to impress your guests and shake up your dip game, bring one of these five dips to the table. Cut some veggies, make some pita chips, grab some funyuns or popcorn, deep fry some green beans- whatever you want to submerge in these dips will do.
Skordalia. This creamy, potato-based dip is loaded with fresh garlic, giving it a bright punch of flavor. It's mellowed by the acid of the lemon juice and made smooth and cloud-like with olive oil. Check out the full recipe here.
Authentic Mexican Pico de Gallo. Forget the clumpy, nasty Old El Paso salsa. Make this fresh, authentic, limey and spicy alternative. Does it take more work than opening a jar? Absolutely. It's 100 percent worth it. You'll never go back to bottled. Click here for the full recipe.
Barefoot Contessa's Baked Herbed Fontina. This dip is elegant, cheesy, herby, oily and gooey. It's all the best things in the world. It's best served with pieces of baguette feverishly ripped and dipped. Check out the full recipe here.
Garlic Jalapeno Whipped Feta. The brininess of feta is complimented by the spicy jalapenos, and herbs like cilantro and parsley add brightness. There's onion, red wine vinegar, lemon, and olive in there too. You also get to stretch the feta with cream cheese, so you don't have to break the bank on tons of feta.

Magic Green Sauce. This sauce is best for dipping veggies, but after one taste, you'll just be eating it with a spoon. It's avocado-based, and it's got cilantro, parsley, lime, and pistachios for texture and complexity. Check out the full recipe here.
