Hi... I'm looking for recipes for a tailgate show... the host wants a dip that doesn't have to be kept warm... every dip recipe I find are warm dips. Any thoughts? I appreciate any ideas.

Turn the Greek Cheese Torta into a dip using additonal sour cream or half and half??? Haven't done it but it should be yummy...
 
This posting is about a year late, but if someone comes looking later, here goes.

How about the BLT Dip, blackbean salsa, the apple berry salsa (football season is also apple season), any dip using the seasonings with mayo and sour cream, greek cheese torta or just go to CC and do a recipe search for cold dips.

I do a demo at the county fair every year and am always looking for dips that are non-bake options.
