No doubt we’ll be doing a lot of entertaining this time of year and when it comes to the food, don’t be afraid to put a tastier twist on your basic chips and dip! Summer is all about fresh flavor and ingredients, so here are some of my favorite summer time crunchies and some delicious recipes for dipping them!

New York Style® Pita Chips

These little guys pack big city taste in every bag with robust flavors and the crunch people crave. They're the perfect pairing for your favorite summer dip and spread recipes. The Pita Chips are available in 6 great flavors including Chia Seeds & Quinoa and Ancient Grains & Flaxseed. They’re twice-baked & never fried and these chips hold up to the thickest dips. I am loving them with this Strawberry Mango Salsa recipe I found on NewYorkStyle.com.

You just combine the strawberries and mango with some red onion, cilantro, honey, lime and jalapeno for a kick. This pairs perfectly with the chia seeds and quinoa pita chips. Yum!

New York Style® Bagel Crisps

These are another super delicious crunchy option, available in 8 delicious flavors. They are just so zesty, crunchy, flavorful and unique, they can be dressed to impress even the most discerning foodie or enjoyed straight out of the bag.

Here are some pairing ideas! This Pesto and Parmesan Dip recipe is the perfect partner to the Sea Salt Bagel Crisps. It has a nutty, garlicky basil flavor I love in pesto with fresh grated parmesan cheese. Just spread it right on top of your Sea Salt Bagel Crisp.

I’m also a huge fan of this Mediterranean Dip with the garlic bagel crisps! Spread hummus on top of New York Style® Garlic Bagel Crisps. Top with sliced black olives and crumbled feta cheese and you are set.

You can find both of these recipes at NewYorkStyle.com too. And be sure to check out Facebook.com/NewYorkStyle as well to find these recipes and tons of other great ones to pair with their wide variety of delicious snacks.

All of these recipes are easy to make and even take with you along with the Pita Chips and Bagel Crisps for a party snack or appetizer. With so many flavors and possible pairings, it’s really simple to get creative!
