party snack recipes

The most important part of any party is the food. Delicious, filling, crowd-pleasing food that everyone will love and ask you where you got the recipe. Luckily for you, you can just send them here! Here are all my favorite party-ready snacks, from mouthwatering salads (eaten with a chip or a fork!) to cheesy dips to easy desserts. Serving salads as dips at your party is an easy way to add extra veggies to a carb-heavy table, and gives easy gluten- and dairy-free recipes so all guests can enjoy. Let’s get the party started!

Salad Dips

The most important part of a perfectly scoopable, chip-ready salad is the chop: Cut all your veggies as small as you can so you get a little bit of everything in each bite. These salads are a great way to add extra veggies to your party that everyone will love. 

Cheesy Dips

Many of these cheesy dips are made with cottage cheese, which blends into a smooth, creamy consistency. Serve with tortilla chips, fresh pita, or your favorite crackers.

Classic Dips

These tried-and-true classic dip recipes pair perfectly with fresh veggies or crackers.  

Salty Snacks

Crowd-pleasing finger foods inspired by party favorites! These salty snacks are filled with crunch and flavor.  

Something Sweet

When I’m busy hosting, my go-to dessert is bite-size cupcakes. They’re also great hostess gifts! But these sweet recipes are so good when you’re in the mood to bake—or in some cases, just assemble.
