50+ Easy Poolside Appetizers & Dips
I just spent last weekend in Orlando and it was blazing hot. I thought it got pretty hot in Minnesota, but it just doesn’t compare to the humid heat in Florida. I spent most of my time outside floating in the lazy river or relaxing by the pool. If I wasn’t outside, I was enjoying the blast of cold AC!
When we were out by the pool, we sipped on cocktails and lots of water but eventually you need something to snack on. Unfortunately this pool didn’t excel in the food department with disappointing hot sandwiches. We had to head back to the house to find some good eats. I would have loved to enjoy some of these amazing dips, like the Light Taco Dip, BLT Dip or Chocolate Fruit Dip for example. They are all cool creamy dips perfect for a hot sunny day by the pool.
Other appetizers that are great poolside, include Cucumber Feta Bites, Apple Nachos and Summer Rolls. It will be hard to choose between all these amazingly Easy Poolside Appetizers & Dips, but you are sure to find a fantastic recipe for your next get-together!
