If you're looking for a rich, full-flavored dip, this one's for you. With toasted pecans, sharp blue cheese, and a creamy base, you can dunk everything from crackers to appetizers in it.
Onions for the win! This creamy dip features sour cream, onion cream cheese, roasted garlic puree, and more delicious ingredients. Trust us: the onion breath is worth it.
Made with ricotta, parmesan, and cream cheese, this dip is all kinds of good. Notice how well the cheeses pair with the black truffle paste and white-truffle-infused olive oil.
You've heard of dill pickle sunflower seeds before, and this hummus has pretty much the same idea of turning a classic (in this case, hummus) into an even better version of itself by adding a kick of dill pickle seasoning to it. Try dipping potato chips, veggies, and even pickles (why not?) into this delightful spread, and watch as your taste buds rejoice.
Made with all organic ingredients, this zesty salsa will cure your cravings. Its ingredients include diced Roma tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lime juice, plus a mix of Anaheim chilis and jalapeño peppers that bring the heat.
With the rich and pungent flavor of roasted garlic, this creamy hummus is a lovely combination of mashed chickpeas, sesame tahini, oil, sea salt, lemon juice, and spices. Just add chips!
Made with cream cheese, ricotta, Parmesan, and a hint of jalapeño, this indulgent dip will have you coming back for more. Switch things up by baking it in the oven until it gets a golden-brown crust and then dunking freshly toasted bread into it. Can you say "yum"?
Made from low-fat Greek yogurt mixed with lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint, diced cucumbers, and fresh avocados, this dip can go on everything from burgers to pita chips. See if you can taste the diced jalapeños.
With Swiss and Parmesan cheeses and just the right amount of herbs and spices, this rich dip will leave you scraping the bottom of the barrel. Try eating it with chips, on a quesadilla, or even on a burger. The options are endless!
If you're a fan of bacon and cheese (who isn't?) then this dip will hit the spot. It's got all the ranch flavor you could ask for, plus hints of cheddar cheese and greasy bacon. Bring on the chips!
Complete with bite-size pieces of white meat chicken breast, this creamy and cheesy dip will have you begging for more. Warm it up to make it even more mouthwatering.
Let's just start by saying that this dip is worth the bad breath. You can eat it with anything you please, including pita wraps, pan-fried potatoes, naan bread, and more. Dig in!
The thick shreds of extrasharp cheddar cheese and chunks of roasted pimento peppers make this dip one of our favorites to munch on. Scoop it up with crackers or chips or even put it on sandwiches and burgers.
Tell your taste buds to "giddy up," because this salsa is comin' in hot! Every dip-full has a good amount of heat that comes from the chipotle and jalapeño peppers, but the black beans and corn help to balance it out. If you're looking for a hearty salsa, this is the one.
Organic chickpeas, seasonings, and chili peppers work together to make this creamy and zesty hummus a true work of art. Top it off with crumbled cheese to make it even more savory.
This tomato-based salsa is the perfect consistency (thick and not watery), and has a bit of a kick to it. Pair it with hearty tortilla chips to get the best crunch around.
As the name implies, this Bloody Mary salsa has a base of sweet and juicy tomatoes, a sour pickling brine, lemon juice, and, just like the namesake drink, a nose-tingling amount of horseradish. Over-the-top garnishes not included.
With jalapeño and Habanero peppers, this black bean dip will leave your mouth watering. Find a bag of salty chips and a tall glass of water, and dig in!
This Spanish-inspired dip is made with a blend of roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and almonds. You can use it as a sauce or dip, depending on what you're munching on.
This dairy-free cheese dip alternative is made with cashews, potatoes, carrots, onions, green chili peppers, and other spices to create a queso dip experience without any cheese. If it sounds like something up your alley, we suggest picking it up the next time you're strolling through the aisles.
Get your chips ready, because this dip will send you overboard. Made with organic sour cream and sesame seasonings, it's just as wonderful as it sounds.

24Trader Joe's Sambal Matah Indonesian Salsa

Shake up your snack routine by swapping traditional chips and salsa for this Indonesian salsa made of cherry peppers, lemongrass, garlic, and shallots. It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and incredibly flavorful, although the amount of oil makes it a little difficult to use as a dip for chips. Serve this spread on a baguette, in a sandwich, or even as a sauce in a stir-fry.
In the ulimate TJ's hack, we learned that combining a pack of the precooked lentils into the packaged bruschetta mix makes the perfect dip for topping bread or snacking on with crackers. It's zesty, bold, and rich, and it's always a hit when I bring it out to share.

This is hands down our favorite hummus from Trader Joe's, and its large size makes it ideal for serving a crowd. The white beans give the hummus extra creaminess, and the basil flavor is reminiscent of pesto.

The refrigerated guacamole from Trader Joe's is one of the best store-bought versions you can find. You can either opt for this box of individually wrapped portions or the original Avocado's Number Guacamole. It's got a nice kick from jalapeño, but it's not overly spicy.
