The Bite:

Looking for some stellar dips? (Tele)scope out our list of premade and easy-to-mix chip and veggie dips to serve at upcoming holiday parties or the World Series for (Ursa) Major taste-bud wins.

The Benefits:

A more organic universe. Whether you're talkin' the dairy in your ranch dressing or the tomatoes in your salsa, certified organic ingredients are produced with either no pesticides, or nonsynthetic ones, such as plant-based neem.
Galaxy-size tastes. These are the best ready-in-no-time dips we found - they're versatile and'll top off your potato skins or baby carrots right nice.
Not treating vegans like extraterrestrials. Meatless, dairy-less Biters: You don't have to feel left out, 'cuz we've got great vegan options.

Personally Speaking:

When we have time, we prefer homemade dips - check our recipes for Cashew Chipotle Cheese and Chocolove Fondue.

Wanna Try:

Frontier Onion Soup & Dip Mix - mix with boiling water and organic sour cream, and you've got creamy chip dip ($15/pound).
Annie's Naturals Organic Goddess Dressing - addicting, buttery-yet-vegan sesame salad dressing that doubles as a great veggie dip ($5/6 ounces).
Simply Organic Chipotle Black Bean Dip Mix - add water and organic sour cream to this black bean dry mix ($5/packet).
Drew's Double Roasted Organic Salsa - made with smoky Anaheim peppers roasted with lime and cilantro ($4/12 ounces).
Follow Your Heart Chipotle-Lime Ranch - nice ranch with a little lime 'n' spice kick. Made with a Biter fave: Vegenaise faux mayo ($4/12 ounces).
Toby's Mild Jalapeño Tofu Dip & Spread - delicious, rich tofu salad dip, available at Whole Foods; kinda like egg salad ($4/8 ounces).

Coming soon: hippie dips, aka our hummus tip.

Cocktail Fact

Other names for the Big Dipper: Butcher's Cleaver (Northern England); King Charles' Wagon (Scandinavia); Salmon Net (Finland); Saucepan (Netherlands); Seven Gods (Mongolia); and Seven Sages (India).

Bang For The Bite

Sticking your asparagus spear in organic ranch rather than the conventional stuff won't put an end to acid rain, but these dips are great-tasting and pesticide-free.

I have heard recently that organic doesn't neccessarily mean pesticide free, that organic farmers can use organic pesticides. Do you have any info on this? Thanks! -Nikki
