Who doesn’t like the versatility of dips? Partner them with sliced veggies, crackers and pitas. Spread ’em on a sandwich or wrap. Some are even tasty atop fish or baked potatoes. Read on for a few of our top choices.
Hope Hummus – Thai Coconut Curry
Hope Foods is known for its creative hummus flavors, all of which are organic, non-GMO, kosher and gluten-free. The Thai Coconut Curry gets its delicious taste from a blend of jalapenos, shredded coconut, sea salt, lime juice, curry powder and garlic, along with the staple garbanzo beans, tahini and olive oil. Use as a dip, or as a condiment on a wrap or sandwich.
Our reviewers say: “A nice curry flavor with light spice; great as a spread on wraps.”

Crackers for Dipping
Here are some of our favorites.
Milton’s Gluten Free Baked Crackers – Crispy Sea Salt
Made with a blend of five non-GMO, gluten-free grains—brown rice flour, corn flour, gluten-free oats, rice flour and millet—plus just the right amount of sea salt, these light and airy crackers are just waiting to be dipped.
Kashi –7 Grain Sea Salt Pita Crisps
The seven whole grains in these non-GMO part-pita, part-crackers translates to 5 grams of fiber per serving, which is 19 percent of your daily needs and way more than most crackers provide. Plus, they just taste great.
Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins – Hint of Sea Salt
Real almonds (one of just six ingredients) give these crackers both a delicious flavor and a nutritional boost, including 3 grams of protein per serving. And knowing there aren’t any added sugars or artificial flavors will make them taste that much better.
