That depends on whether you are serving chips, veggies, or fruit.
I make an easy dip with 24 oz of Silk almond yogurt and Lipton onion soup mix for potato chips. It takes three days to thicken, and all you have to do is keep making a little hollow in the yogurt and spoon out the liquid each day. People who can eat dairy products use 12 oz sour cream and 12 oz cream cheese instead of the yogurt, and then you don't have to go through that nonsense with removing liquid.
I used to make another very easy Mexican cheese dip, (queso), with a can of Rotel tomatoes and a small block of Velveeta cheese melted together in the microwave...for corn chips. This is good with tortilla chips.
If you are serving shrimp you can make a dip with 8 oz of whipped cream cheese, 8 oz of Heinz chili sauce, and 1 or 2 Tablespoons Horseradish sauce, or, omit the cream cheese and just use the chili sauce with Horseradish.
Cucumber yogurt dip is good with veggies. Peel and remove the seeds from one cucumber, and dice into tiny pieces. Allow the pieces to dry a little bit on a paper towel so the liquid will leach out. Mix together with 12 oz of plain yogurt seasoned with 2 tsp chopped fresh dill weed, 1/8 cup of very finely diced red onion, . 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/4 tsp of salt or salt to taste, 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper, and a few sprinkles of cayenne pepper. Allow the mixture to sit in the fridge for the flavors to blend for at least 24 hours.
Crab dip is good with veggies also. Use real crab if you can. Mix together 2 tsp old bay seasoning with 16 oz of whipped cream cheese, and 1 cup or more of real diced crab meat and 1/8 cup of lemon juice. Top with paprika or chopped parsley.
A good one for fruit is simple cool whip mixed with cream cheese in equal parts.
Fresh salsa for veggies or tortilla chips relies on VERY fresh ingredients. The best salsa is made from veggies from the farmers market. Seed about 6 large ripe tomatoes. Dice into 1/4" dice. Mince one large onion. Dice one large green bell pepper into 1/4" dice, and add salt and pepper to taste, and about 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes and 1 Tablespoon fresh minced cilantro. Mix everything and give it a squeeze of fresh lime juice and serve it immediately.
