Are you the kind of person that brings a bag of chips and a tub of dip to a party? Cause I totally am…er, was. It’s not that I’m sometimes lazy or a procrastinator (just kidding, I am). It’s that I’ve got things to do, and spending 4 hours in the kitchen on a likely Pinterest fail is not one of them.

Which is why I spent 4 hours in my kitchen coming up with this awesome 5-dip party platter. I did it for you all, so that you could make an easy–but super delicious–dip, buy a bag of compliant chips, and scurry off to your night of revelry.

Or…you could be the ultimate party host and make every single dip in this post with a whole platter of chopped veggies, root vegetable chips, and some seasonal fruit. Everyone will exclaim how amazingly delicious your “healthy food” is. You will, of course, be invited to every party from now on (it’s OK–people like me for my food too).

Get a Platter

Before you make a party platter, you need an actual serving platter. It seems obvious, but I was once asked to bring veggies and dip to a party. I chopped up all the veggies and realized I had nothing to serve them on, so I brought them in a large Tupperware bowl that people had to dig around in. Not my best moment.

Make Some Party Dips

Five delicious dip options for serving to hungry, non-suspecting guests.

Garlic Cauliflower Hummus

For party hummus without the lectins, combine 1 bag of frozen cauliflower rice, steamed, 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons tahini, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon cumin in a food processor. Process until smooth (add water to thin, if needed).

Serve with: broccoli florets, carrot sticks, plantain chips

Black Bean Hummus

For this phase 3 or vegetarian low lectin hummus, combine 1 15-ounce can pressure cooked black beans (drained), 1 clove garlic, 2 tablespoons tahini, juice of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon cumin. Pulse in a food processor until smooth (also adding water to thin, if needed).

Serve with: sliced kohlrabi, jicama chips

Fruit Dip

For a seasonal fruit party platter, serve up the easiest fruit dip ever by mixing 1 cup full fat sour cream and the juice of 1 lime. Sprinkle cinnamon and granular sweetener on top.
