Frito-Lay Review and Giveaway!

***This giveaway is now closed***

I don't know about you, but I'm a chip person. Now that doesn't mean I want greasy overly processed chips, I do have some standards. Frito-Lay honestly makes some of the best chips that don't have more ingredients than I would even know what to do with. The kind people of Frito-Lay must have known that I thought this because they sent me an awesome package with Original Lays, Tositos Dipping Strips and Sun Chips.


The staple of Frito-Lay, in my opinion, is Lays Potato Chips. Oh that golden yellow bag of deliciousness! These are a staple at any function that I have since they're great for dips. I also like to crush these and put them on my tuna casserole (you're welcome for the tip). But most importantly they go splendidly with a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. What's even better is there are only 4 ingredients, potatoes (obviously), salt, corn and sunflower oil. That's it, and that's how it should be, right?

Like I said before, I like to use Lays with dips. You can always do the basic onion dip, but if you want a really flavorful and healthier alternative you should try this Cucumber Dip:

Ingredients:

• 1 cucumber, shredded
• 1 cup nonfat, plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• Salt to taste
• Lay’s Classic® Potato Chips
  

Directions:

• Mix cucumber, yogurt and garlic together in a small bowl.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Serve with Lay’s Classic potato chips.

This dip was really yummy, inexpensive and a much healthier alternative to onion dip.

Another great Frito-Lay option is their Tostitos Dipping Strips. I actually hadn't tried these until Frito-Lay sent them my way. Oh my goodness, these were awesome. They hold up in hearty dips and are made to dip right into, say a jar of Tostitos Salsa. Plus they 8 grams of whole grains per serving. Great, right? Here's another yummy dip to try with your Dipping Strips.

Chipotle Salsa

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp lime juice
• 1 ½ tbsp chipotle chilies chopped
• 1 ½ tsp ground cumin
• 1 jar Tostitos® Salsa
• 1 bag Tostitos® Scoops! or Dipping Strips! Tortilla Chips

Directions:

• Mix together first five ingredients.
• Chill before serving with Tostitos tortilla chips.
• Garnish as desired.

The final bag of chips I got to try were the Garden Salsa Sun Chips. These chips are another staple in our house. Scott and I originally bought these as a snack for us a few months ago and since then the kids have been devouring them. I think Scott and I have only had a handful to date. I'm a big fan of Sun Chips, I think they are a healthier option as a side (rather than loading up with heavy potato salad) at a BBQ. Plus, there are a ton of yummy flavors (Garden Salsa and Peppercorn Ranch are my favs!).

The awesome people over at Frito-Lay want to offer one of my readers a prize pack with a variety of chips and a fun chip and dip plate. For a required entry just let me know what some of your favorite chip and dip combos are.
