The Top 15 Dips at Trader Joe's

To help you navigate the world of Trader Joe's dips, here are 15 different options that have sparked rave reviews from customers. Just don't forget to grab your favorite chips!

Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip

This ready-to-heat dip is so popular that it took home the title of "Favorite Appetizer" in Trader Joe's 15th Annual Customer Choice Awards. Available for $3.79, the Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Dip features a combination of spinach, artichokes, parmesan, and Swiss cheese, plus herbs and spices.

Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeño Dip

Looking for a dip with a kick? The Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeño Dip could be just what you need. This Trader Joe's item combines cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Greek yogurt, artichokes, onions, and jalapeños. Each 10-ounce container is $3.99.

Garlic Spread-Dip

Versatile, creamy, and obviously garlicky, Trader Joe's Garlic Spread-Dip draws inspiration from toum, the Middle Eastern garlic sauce. Priced at $3.69 for an eight-ounce container, this dip is made with just five ingredients: canola oil, garlic, lemon juice, citric acid, and salt. Pair it with crackers, slather it on toasted bread, or add it to a marinade.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Would any football party be complete without an appearance from this beloved dip? The Trader Joe's version consists of bite-sized pieces of white meat chicken mixed into a blend of cream cheese, sour cream, cayenne pepper sauce, and Monterey Jack cheese. Featuring "notes of vinegar and savory garlic flavor," according to Trader Joe's, this dip is currently available in 12-ounce containers for $4.99.

Vegan Buffalo Dip

Trader Joe's put a vegan twist on a traditionally meat and dairy-packed dip by combining veggies like cauliflower, red peppers, and carrots with a cayenne pepper sauce and lime juice. Priced at $3.99 for a nine-ounce container, this plant-based dip is a hit among shoppers, regardless of their dietary preferences.

Caramelized Onion Dip

Onion dip is a classic for a reason, and the Trader Joe's variety has its fair share of fans. Each 10-ounce container costs $3.79.

Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip

While onion dip typically contains dairy-based ingredients like sour cream or cream cheese, Trader Joe's transformed yet another dip to make it vegan. Starting with a base of plant-based, dairy-free cream cheese, the Vegan Caramelized Onion Dip features onions caramelized in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Sweet, savory, and creamy, this popular item comes in eight-ounce containers and costs $4.29.

Tzatziki Dip

You're going to want to toast up some pita. Trader Joe's offers its own version of the classic Mediterranean condiment. A 12-ounce container of this creamy dip costs $3.99.

Vegan Tzatziki Dip

Another popular plant-based option is the Vegan Tzatziki, which is made with dairy-free cream cheese. Like its non-vegan counterpart, this dip features lemon juice, chopped cucumber, garlic, and dill. Customers can score an eight-ounce container of this creamy, tangy dip for $4.29.

Mediterranean Style Hummus

From Roasted Garlic to Roasted Red Pepper, Trader Joe's offers several different varieties of the cherished chickpea dip. One fan favorite is the Mediterranean Style. Described by the grocer as more "whipped" than its other hummus options, this dip is topped with pine nuts and a blend of parsley, red bell pepper, and olive oil. Packaged in 16-ounce containers, the Mediterranean Style Hummus costs $3.99.

Crunchy Chili Onion Hummus

Last spring, Trader Joe's merged two popular items to create one flavorful dip. Each container showcases a dollop of Trader Joe's Crunchy Chili Onion, the popular condiment made with olive oil, dried onions, sea salt, dried garlic, dried bell peppers, crushed chili peppers, and toasted dried onions. Each 10-ounce container is $3.99.

Olive Tapenade

If you're an olive fan, Trader Joe's sells a container of traditional olive tapenade, which features a combination of olives, pimentos, herbs, spices, and oil. Although many would pair this item with crackers, for some, it's good enough to eat on its own.

Almond Chipotle Dip

Relatively new to TJ's is the Almond Chipotle Dip. This smoky, spicy product starts with a base of almond butter and is flavored with chipotle pepper powder, smoked paprika, garlic, and tamari. Each nine-ounce container costs $3.99.

Zhoug Sauce

Whether added to hummus or slathered over meat, this spicy, herbaceous Middle Eastern condiment can be paired with all sorts of foods. Plus, the Trader Joe's version only contains eight ingredients: cilantro, canola oil, jalapeño peppers, chili flakes, garlic, cardamom, sea salt, and cumin seeds.

Guacasalsa

Guac or salsa? How about both? Trader Joe's combines the beloved dips into one by blending together tomatillos, avocado, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and garlic puree. Aptly named "Guacasalsa," each 10-ounce container costs $3.99.
