This recipe takes a speedy 15 minutes to make, from start to finish, thanks to your microwave. Be sure to stir between microwave blasts to get that creamy texture you want. 2. Buffalo Chicken Dip Allrecipes Get Nicole's recipe for The Best Buffalo Chicken Dip. No canned chicken here! Nicole oven-bakes chicken breasts and chops them up to make this classic creamy, spicy dip. There's ranch dressing in the mix, but Nicole crumbles blue cheese on top for the purists. Her favorite dipper? Celery sticks, of course! 3. Spinach Artichoke Dip Allrecipes Get the recipe for Luscious Spinach Artichoke Dip. A quick 10-minute prep gets this crowd-favorite ready for the oven. Nicole says she doesn't smooth out the top before baking because she likes to let the little peaks get all brown and crispy. Sturdy pita chips make excellent dippers to scoop up every bit of this top-rated appetizer. 4. Onion Dip Allrecipes Get Nicole's Creamy Onion Dip recipe. No need to tear open a packet of onion soup mix when you can make this from scratch with what you already have in your pantry. The key is to let it chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors fully develop before serving. The relatively short wait will be well worth it. 5. Salsa Allrecipes Get Nicole's recipe for Fresh Restaurant-Style Salsa. A mixture of canned and fresh tomatoes go for a spin in your food processor, along with onion, garlic, cumin, two kinds of peppers, lime juice, and fresh cilantro. Season to taste with a little salt, and you have a quick and easy salsa that rivals anything you can get at a restaurant.
