20 Pool Side Dips

These 20 Pool Side Dips will keep you full and happy all summer long!

My ideal vacation is one with a little sight seeing and whole lotta lounging pool side.  I mean, come on, it is called vacation for a REASON.  I do not want to be going from here to there with a set schedule all day long.

I want my day to flow from a relaxed breakfast, to proper sun deck time with a good book, to a casual lunch {sitting on the sun deck}, followed by a shower, a late dinner at a restaurant on the water and finally more time on the dock with a drink in hand.

If you find that boring, then I'm sorry.

I guess I won't be vacationing with you.

So, let's get back to that lunch on the dock.  I'm the queen of 'snack plate' lunches even when at home tending to children and running a house.  A few crackers, some cheese, a piece of fruit, probably some relishes and often a dip.  It's just kind of my thang.

So when on vacation I like to continue this for three reasons.

1.  I'm often not in the mood to eat something heavy while sitting in a bathing suit.

2.  I most certainly do NOT want to lose my lounge chair on the dock to someone else if I had to get up.

3.  It's fun!

Having a little mini picnic while alternating dips in the water is perfect in my opinion.  Bring some drinks and snacks in a cooler and my day is set.

Therefore I picked a handful of favorites from this very blog, along with a small handful from other bloggers.  It is pool season people!  Make a dip and eat it for lunch.

You won't regret this.

I'm in love with all of these dips.  I honestly want to make one a day until I've gone through the entire list.  Don't think I am not taking mental notes for our yearly pilgrimage to Lake Okoboji this August. That lake lets me unwind and relax.  I look forward to it each and every year.

Which one do you want to try first?

Let me know!

  1. Poolside dips and snacks are such a vibe during summer! But honestly, the real game changer for me has been having a setup that combines relaxation with safety. I used to love lounging by the pool but realized I needed something more accessible for some family members. That’s when I looked into adding a walk-in tub feature. I went with source, and it’s been amazing—not just for practical use but also for how it enhances our space. If you’re curious, take a look at some Safe Step Tub reviews they really helped me decide! Summer fun and safety can go hand in hand.
