When it comes to snacking, reaching for some chips and dip is a classic choice. The crunchy, salty chip with the creamy, savoury dip is a delight for the palate. More often than not, we probably stick with the chips and dips we know and love. After all, if it isn’t broke, why would we fix it? However, if we’re in search of a fresh twist on the snacking experience, perhaps we need to think outside the box (or the bag).
While there’s certainly no wrong way to pair chips and dips, there can definitely be right ways. In this blog, you’ll discover snacking duos that are ready to tantalize your tastebuds and satisfy your salty cravings. You can find everything on this list at your local Farm Boy store. You can also visit our flyer page for the most delicious of deals. So, kick back, grab a bowl, a bag, and dive into our how-to guide on pairing chips and dips!
Farm Boy™ Fattoush Chips + Farm Boy™ Organic Original Hummus
You know the saying, “What grows together, goes together?” The same principle applies to this chip and dip pairing. Farm Boy™ Fattoush Chips are inspired by the Middle Eastern salad of the same name. Crispy and delicious, they’re fried in 100% coconut oil for an authentic flavour and maximum crunch. Naturally, they would pair perfectly with our Organic Original Hummus, another Middle Eastern favourite. Made with organic chickpeas and tahini, it has a creamy, velvety texture that deserves to be heaped upon a delicious chip that can take the weight. If you’d really like to up the gourmet factor, add a swirl of good quality olive oil to your hummus. Finish with a dash of Ras El Hanout, a Moroccan spice blend.
Farm Boy™ Lime Tortilla Chips + Farm Boy™ Eda-Yummy Spicy Kale Edamame Dip
Bright, zesty, and oh-so-addictive, this pairing is truly a match made in snacking heaven—and exclusive to Farm Boy. Our Lime Tortilla Chips have a punchy, citrus-forward flavour and an irresistible crunch. These gluten-free chips can handle thick dips and work very well with our beloved Eda-Yummy Spicy Kale Edamame Dip. Made in small batches in the Farm Boy Kitchen using our own recipe, this fan favourite dip is, as the name implies, yummy. It has a hint of spice from fresh jalapeños and the squeeze of tart lemon echoes the lime in the chips. An ideal choice for any barbecue, picnic, or whenever your snack cravings strike.
Farm Boy™ Natural Tortilla Chips + Farm Boy™ Guacamole
A classic dunking duo if there ever was one, it has to be tortilla chips and guac. Like summer if it were a snack, this chip and dip pairing is best enjoyed with friends in the sunshine. (Or whenever your salty snack craving hits.) The light dusting of salt on our Natural Tortilla Chips complements the fresh zest of our house-made guacamole. Made locally in Ontario, our tortilla chips are gluten-free and have the real, authentic taste of corn. We like the natural flavour for this dip because it allows our chef-prepared guacamole to shine.
Farm Boy™ Crinkle Cut Potato Chips + Farm Boy™ Delightfully Delicious Sour Cream & Onion Chip Dip
Another snacking classic, it’s potato chips with onion dip. At Farm Boy, however, we’re all about doing things with a fresh twist, and so the onion dip got upgraded. For us, it’s a Sour Cream & Onion Chip Dip. Cool, creamy, and tangy, this dip is perfectly suited to the salty potato chip. The deep ridges of our Crinkle Cut Potato Chips offer more surface area for all that dip for a taste that’s sure to tantalize. Kettle-cooked for extra crispiness, these made-in-Canada chips pair well with any dip, but we think they’re at their absolute best with this one.
Farm Boy™ Sea Salt & Vinegar Chips + Farm Boy™ Lemon Garlic Hummus
Get ready for a chip and dip duo designed to wallop your taste buds! Dark russet potatoes are kettle-cooked in small batches and seasoned with a blend of sea salt, vinegar powder, and cane sugar. The result is a crunchy, lip-smacking chip that keeps you coming back for more. Now, try it dipped into a container of our Lemon Garlic Hummus. Sure, these two might be unexpected together, but the tart vinegar plays with the creamy hummus extremely well. The sour and savoury notes of lemon and garlic can also hold their own against the Sea Salt & Vinegar Chips. It’ll have you wondering why you didn’t combine these two sooner.
Farm Boy™ Sweet Potato Chips + Farm Boy™ Tzatziki Dip
Sure, you’ve heard of sweet potato fries, but what about sweet potato chips? Our old-fashioned kettle-cooked chips have just three simple ingredients: sweet potatoes, canola oil, and sea salt. The result is a crunchy, earthy, slightly sweet chip with a hint of salt. That flavour profile means it makes an excellent vehicle for our house-made Tzatziki. Thick, rich sour cream blends with cucumber, garlic, and mint for a fresh, tangy taste. Seriously mouth-watering, this is an unexpected duo you’ll definitely want at your next picnic.
Farm Boy™ Blue Corn Tortilla Chips + Farm Boy™ Fresh Salsa
You may think our line of locally made tortilla chips are being unevenly represented here, but it’s just because they’re so good! There’s something about blue corn tortilla chips that just makes us feel like we’re sitting down to dig into a feast at an authentic Mexican restaurant. Perhaps it’s because our Blue Corn Tortilla Chips are made with organic Mexican blue corn! Complete the restaurant appetizer feel by pairing them with our Fresh Salsa. Available in Hot or Mild, we make it fresh in the Farm Boy Kitchen with simple, high-quality ingredients.
Farm Boy™ Sea Salt Potato Chips + Farm Boy™ Delightfully Delicious Dill Pickle Chip Dip
Get ready to lick your fingers and scoop crumbs from the bag with this chip and dip pair! Our kettle-cooked Sea Salt Potato Chips are deceptively simple. However, after a dunk in our Dill Pickle Dip, they’re transformed. The cooling, garlicky, pickled flavour of this dip can’t be outshone by too tart or sour a chip. Instead, it plays best with a humbler spud, a crispy, crunchy chip that highlights its creamy texture. The blend of sour cream, cream cheese, fresh dill, dill pickles, and garlic will appeal to even the most fervent of pickle fanatics. Its rich, thick consistency means it needs a chip that won’t break under the pressure, and our old-fashioned potato chips are ready for the job.
Farm Boy™ Barbecue Potato Chips + Farm Boy™ Spicy Black Bean Dip
How’s this for a fresh twist on barbecue baked beans? Tangy, spicy, sweet, and smoky, our Canadian-made kettle-cooked Barbecue Potato Chips can stand up to the thickest of dips. Enter: Our Spicy Black Bean Dip. We make this dip fresh in the Farm Boy Kitchen, and it has a hearty flavour with a little kick from chipotle peppers and smoked paprika. Like the traditional backyard BBQ side, this chip and dip duo is here to bring all the smoky, spicy flavour to the table. Unexpected? Sure. Delicious? Absolutely.
Farm Boy™ Sea Salt & Pepper Chickpea Chips + Farm Boy™ Spicy Guacamole
As we’ve already said, guacamole and tortilla chips are a classic pairing. However, sometimes we want to ramp things up a bit. In the spirit of shaking things up, we present our Spicy Guacamole and Sea Salt & Pepper Chickpea Chips. Light, crispy, and gluten-free, our chickpea chips have the added bonus of being a source of protein and fibre. The subtle heat from the cracked black pepper on these chips complements the spice in our house-made guac. It’s the regular guac you know and love, just dialed up a bit with the help of habanero peppers. Scoop some up with our perfectly shaped chickpea chips and enjoy!
Farm Boy™ Sea Salt Pita Chips + Farm Boy™ Artichoke & Spinach Dip
A good spinach and artichoke dip has some weight to it, on account of all the delicious ingredients inside it. That means it needs a strong chip to help transfer that dip from bowl to mouth. Our cream cheese-based dip gets a lift from our Pita Chips, which are double-baked for extra crunch. These chips—made from Mediterranean pita bread—are perfect for scooping up such a hearty dip. For the best experience, try topping our Artichoke & Spinach Dip with a sprinkle of grated Cheddar cheese and warming it in the oven before digging in.
Farm Boy™ Ancient Grains Tortilla Chips + Farm Boy™ Queso
Tortilla chips are a natural choice when it comes to queso, but we wanted to be a little extra when it comes to texture. The added crunchiness imparted by the quinoa, amaranth, flax, and sesame seeds in our Ancient Grain variety means that they can stand up to our sturdy queso. Our Queso is made by our chefs with traditional ingredients like cheese, green chilies, and jalapeños for that necessary heat. It’s cheesy, gooey, melty, and tastes best when it’s been warmed up. Scoop up this chip and dip pairing when you’re relaxing on a patio or watching the game and enjoy.
Farm Boy™ Parmesan, Garlic & Herb Pita Chips + Farm Boy™ Toum
You may not want to kiss anyone after eating this chip and dip pair, but we promise that the flavour is worth it. We’re combining Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines with this snacking duo that’s all about bold, punchy flavours. While you could choose the Sea Salt variety of our double-baked Pita Chips, we love the Parmesan, Garlic, & Herbs flavour here. It’s savoury, snackable, and sturdy enough to hold up to our Toum. Toum is a garlic sauce that’s a staple in Lebanese cuisine. We make ours fresh with just five simple ingredients. The result is thick, creamy, and, of course, garlicky. You might think pairing these two would be overkill, but we promise that your tastebuds will disagree.
