Dips are the best thing to serve at a football party (other than wings). Here's why:

  1. They require one hand. (This is important: This means a beer can remain in your other hand at all times.)

  2. You can shovel a mass of cheese, guacamole, salsa, or any other dip-able thing into your mouth. (And if it's a layered dip, you can shovel all of those things into your mouth AT THE SAME TIME.)

  3. They give you another reason to eat chips.

So, Ladies and Gents, we present to you 31 party-perfect dips to serve at this weekend's football gathering.

    Green Lentil Spread

    A great spread alternative to hummus (and a fixture with crudités or on sandwiches in the BA Test Kitchen). French green lentils work best here, but the most important ingredient of the recipe is top-quality extra-virgin olive oil.
