Easy Dip Recipes for the 4th of July
Andrew bui
Throwing a BBQ this 4th of July? We got you. We bet you're already on top of planning for the hamburgers, summery side dishes, and drinks you're going to be serving, but we've got one additional tip for guaranteeing your 4th of July party is a success: Don't forget the appetizers! We've all been there, spending too much time on the main event while your hungry guests arrive. Having nothing to share with them until you get the outdoor grill heated up is a recipe for disaster, trust us. You could just put out a bag of chips and store-bought dip, but to truly impress, go homemade. Check out our list of 60 Fourth of July appetizers for inspiration.
4th of July is just like any other party, which means pulling out our starter secret weapon: dips! We're pretty darn proud of all the dips we've created over the years, and have highlighted some of our summertime favorites here. Check out our 4th of July brie, our buffalo chicken dip, or our July 4th s'mores dip. What goes best with dip? That'd be salsa. Try our blueberry salsa, our grilled corn salsa, or our mango salsa. Make sure to put out a variety of breads, crackers, chips and veggies (for real, people always love the veggies) for serving.
Our other favorite style of appetizer? Bite-size ones! Particularly during a BBQ where there might not be a ton of seating, handheld apps are hugely appreciated. Try some on skewers, like our melon prosciutto skewers, our tomato gnocchi kebabs, or our grilled chicken kebabs, or just turn your favorites tiny, like in our cheeseburger tot sliders (the tots are the buns), our bruschetta (yknow, tiny toast), or our pigs in a blanket.
If all else fails, wrap a vegetable in bacon. We swear, it's the lowest effort, highest reward app there is. Try our bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers, our bacon zucchini fries, or our bacon wrapped pickles.

Best-Ever Buffalo Chicken Dip
We love serving this dip with chips, crackers, toasted baguette, and raw vegetables —celery and carrots especially. But honestly, we've also definitely just eaten it straight, with a spoon. No judgment.

Blueberry Salsa
Wanna make this fruity salsa ahead of time? Toss everything together but leave out the lime juice, olive oil, and cilantro. Cover and refrigerate, then dress and add the herbs when you're ready to serve!

Cheesy Corn Poppers
These savory bites have earned a notorious reputation here at Delish—they're pretty impossible to stop eating. The contrast of sweet juicy corn, salty Parmesan, and bright scallions is pretty unbeatable. These poppers are definitely one of our all-time favorite summer corn recipes.

Watermelon Gazpacho
If summer had a flavor, it might taste a lot like this soup. Though we'll always love a classic, tomato-based gazpacho, the addition of watermelon gives the soup a delicious subtle sweetness we can't get enough of. Full of juicy, bright fruits and veggies, this no-cook soup is equal parts satisfying and refreshing.

Bacon Zucchini Fries
Anything wrapped in bacon is instantly 1,000 times better, including summer squash! These 'fries' are simply roasted zucchini wedges wrapped in bacon—squash has never looked better. Make a simple homemade ranch for an easy dipping sauce too.

Bruschetta
Nothing screams summer quite like bruschetta. We know it may sound skippable, but rubbing the toasted bread with garlic will help impart TONS of flavor into your tiny toasts, so we highly recommend it. Top them with simply marinated tomatoes for the ultimate summer snack.

Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers
Jalapeño poppers are one of the easiest, most satisfying party apps. Mix cream cheese with Pepper Jack, stuff it in jalapeños, and wrap it all in bacon. In the oven, the cheese gets hot and melty and the peppers mellow slightly. The combination is PERFECT.

Classic Buffalo Wings
Leave fried wings to the pub. You can still get perfect crispness at home in your oven. The key is putting the wings on a wire rack inside of a rimmed baking sheet. The rack allows air to circulate underneath the wings and allows for even cooking.

Tomato Gnocchi Kebabs
The gnocchi paired with blistered grilled tomatoes and tender red onion make for a perfect summer snack. They come together in minutes and if you are really pressed for time you can skip the homemade salsa verde and opt for basil. (Though we promise it's worth making.)

Cheeseburger Tot Sliders
Why have a burger with some tots on the side when you can just build a miniature burger with tots as the bun! Your friends will lose their minds if you serve these for your 4th of July BBQ.

BLT Cups
These lighter BLTs skip the bread and put major emphasis on the bacon—which is what we all really want. We replaced the mayo with Greek yogurt to help make these lighter as well, but you can use the traditional mayonnaise or even sour cream if you prefer.

4th of July Brie
There's nothing more American than a cheese flag. 😋We used a BIG wheel of brie for this recipe, which can be very expensive. You can get away with something about (or a little over) half the size. A little bit of brie goes a long way.

Crab Cakes
The taste of crab isn't particularly strong, so it needs a little oomph to wake it up. Enter the trio of Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. A little bit goes a long way to flavor these surprisingly easy crab cakes.
