There are a lot of Aldi dips and, like many other Aldi products, some are great and some should be avoided at all costs. And, in true Aldi fashion, the selection of dips is always changing. In our two taste tests, we managed to get our hands on around 40 Aldi dips—that includes Aldi salsa flavors, Aldi hummus options, Aldi guacamole, and even some dessert dips we were SURE we would hate and ended up loving. If you see something on this list of Aldi dips that sounds good to you, our advice? GO! Go get it right now! You never know when these will crawl back into their burrows for seasonal dip hibernation.
What we were looking for in the best Aldi dips

After our most recent taste test, here are the top nine best Aldi dips you can buy. GRAB YOUR CART QUARTER AND GO.

- Casa Mamita Small Batch Restaurant Style Salsa Mild
-
This shelf-stable Aldi salsa isn’t the world’s greatest salsa, but it’s savory, it’s chunky, and it’s cheap. It even has a touch of heat to it, which is more than I can say for most Tostitos or Pace salsas on the shelf. Served with some tortilla chips (Aldi’s Clancy tortilla chips aren’t the best tortilla chips, but they’ll do in a pinch) and a couple of Margaritas, this Aldi salsa will complete a lovely at-home happy hour. It’s definitely the best Aldi salsa you can buy. Another nice thing about this Aldi dip? It’s pretty much always in stock. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Caramelized Onion & Bacon Dip
-
This Aldi dip is a really good mashup. It’s like if a creamy, not-too-salty onion dip had a baby with a nice, smoky bacon horseradish dip. It’s very thick and creamy and we LOVE how much onion is in the mix. When we did our on-camera Aldi dip taste test (above), we ranked this higher but I downgraded it because as I continued to pick at this dip after the cameras were off (like a monster), I got some really big floppy, fatty, and unpleasant pieces of bacon. If you’re vigilant and feel confident you can avoid wayward fat chunks, this is still a tasty dip to scoop with some wavy plain potato chips. —Gwynedd Stuart

- Park Street Deli Spinach Dip
-
This Aldi spinach dip made it onto our best spinach dip list, and, after tasting it again for this ranking, I am pleased to say the quality has not dipped. It’s super creamy and really thick—but not so thick that it’ll break a chip. It has this unique sweetness that you don’t get in a lot of spinach dips—almost like a carroty sweetness, which makes it a great complement to vegetables. Skip the ranch dressing and pick up this Aldi spinach dip to serve with your crudites. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Tzatziki
-
The selection of Aldi dips includes far more tzatziki flavors than anyone would expect. I mean, name another grocery store (outside of Greece) that carries more than, like, two options for store bought tzatziki. Anyway, even though there are multiple flavors, the original Aldi tzatziki is the way to go. It’s tangy and cucumbery and salty and creamy. Perfect with a pita chip or some crunchy vegetables or drizzled onto a homemade gyro. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Buffalo Style Chicken
-
Even though this Aldi Buffalo chicken dip didn’t make it into our best Buffalo chicken dip ranking, it still deserves a spot on this list of the best Aldi dips. Would I recommend you run out and get it right away? No. But if you’re at Aldi and you’re shopping for snacks for a game day gathering, then you should toss it into your cart. It has a good, pure Buffalo flavor. It’s creamy. And it has good chunks of chicken. My one quibble is that it’s quite salty. So, skip the chips and eat this Aldi Buffalo chicken dip with some fresh, crunchy celery sticks instead. —Justine Sterling

- Pineapple Poblano Guacamole
-
This isn’t the best Aldi guacamole we tried, but it’s weird and different and we’ve liked it in multiple taste tests. Listen. I know you’re dubious that pineapple works in a guac, but the flavors really do mesh incredibly well. So much store bought guac contains citric acid as a preservative, and something about tart, sweet pineapple really covers up any weird, unpleasant preservative flavors. This would be unreal for making Tijuana-style al pastor tacos at home. —Gwynedd Stuart

- Park Street Deli Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
-
There are actual chunks of real roasted pepper piled in the middle of this Aldi hummus. And it’s good roasted red pepper. It tastes fresh and flame-kissed. And even the hummus itself—without the red pepper chunks—tastes like roasted red pepper. It’s sweet and vegetal, but it’s also still creamy and earthy, like good, plain hummus. This Aldi hummus is better than any name brand red pepper hummus. And it would have been the best Aldi hummus if not for our number two pick for the best Aldi dip of all. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Dill Dip
-
This Aldi dill dip placed high on our ranking of the best veggie dip. It’s so unique. It’s a little sweet and very dilly. Essentially, it’s pickle dip—though, it leans into bread and butter pickle dip territory. That’s definitely not something you see every day. The best Aldi dips can only be found at Aldi, and this one certainly qualifies. Plus, it can do double duty. Yes, it’s a great dip on a plain potato chip. But it’s also a great sauce for salmon or stirred into canned tuna for a quick tuna salad. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Cinnamon Bun Dessert Dip
-
If you made fresh, yeasty dinner rolls and spread this Aldi dip on them, you might die of joy. This is—bam—one step to cinnamon rolls. Don’t get me wrong—it’s good right out of the fridge, especially if you really like cinnamon, but this cream cheese based silky, sweet dip would be so good on something warm. Even toast! A nice thick slice of toasted white bread slathered with this Aldi dessert dip? Oh, hell yeah. When it comes to weird, sweet offerings, it’s not the best Aldi dip we tried, but it’s damn good—even on Aldi’s crummy graham crackers. —Gwynedd Stuart

- Aldi Chunky Guacamole
-
Most store bought guacamole bears little to no resemblance to real, homemade guacamole. So I came in with low expectations, but this Aldi guacamole really blew me away. Sure, it has some of that citric acid flavor you find in premade guac, but it mostly tastes like fresh, creamy avocado. And the label doesn’t lie—it is chunky! And it’s also a little bit spicy, so beware if your definition of mild is zero heat. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Fried Pickle Ranch Dip
-
Okay, there is nothing fried about this. Let’s just get that out of the way. I get it though. There’s not really a thing that involves dipping regular ol’ dill pickles in ranch—but why the hell not?? This dip is thick and creamy and loaded with crunchy little chunks of dill pickle. It’s really good. It’s thick, creamy and cooling and even though it definitely tastes like dried dill, there’s enough briny tang to keep things interesting. This is a great dip for chips, but hell, go ahead and dip fried pickle chips in it and see how that goes. —Gwynedd Stuart
- Park Street Deli Bacon Cheddar
-
Once again, here’s a unique offering from the Aldi dips collection. Usually, I am not a huge proponent of bacon-flavored things—or, really, anything premade with bacon. But this Aldi cheese dip changed my mind. It’s really smoky and creamy and there are real, tiny bits of bacon all mixed in. It’s almost got a French onion dip thing going on, but without the onion if that makes sense. It’s unlike any dip I’ve ever tried before, and it will be the center of attention on any snack spread you whip up. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Olive Tapenade Hummus
-
I adore this Aldi hummus. It’s tangy. It’s salty. It’s creamy. It keeps you coming back bite after bite. The blend of creamy hummus and flavorful tapenade is so good. It tastes fresh—practically homemade. You could eat it with vegetables or pita chips, but it’d also be good on a soft pretzel or spread onto a sandwich or used in a rice bowl. If you can’t handle olives, then this is not the Aldi dip for you—opt for any of the others on this list and you’ll be happy. But if the olive bar is your second home, then this Aldi hummus is a new staple for you. —Justine Sterling

- Park Street Deli Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Dip
-
No one expected to love this Aldi dessert dip. What the hell is cookie dough dip anyway? Well, it’s NOT just edible cookie dough—it’s really a dip. The number one ingredient listed on the container is cream cheese. It’s soft and creamy and it’s absolutely loaded with little dark chocolate chips. The best part is that it also has dimension—there’s salt, too. We ate this as a dip with graham crackers, but I think we all agreed we’d just as soon eat it directly off a spoon as a little treat. It’s the best Aldi dip, so naturally it’s seasonal. Go get it now! Go! —Gwynedd Stuart
