According to Claire Lower of Lifehacker, what your dip needs, be it store-bought or homemade, is a splash or two of fat, such as a splash of oil. This can be anything such as olive oil, pistachio oil, or even chili oil. The only requirement would be that they should be as high-quality as you can get, though any sort of oil will be perfectly fine.
The idea of using fats and oils in dip isn't too uncommon. In fact, you could even use certain types of grease to make dips. According to chef Gustavo Fernandez, bacon grease can be used to make a dip of its own (via Esquire). It involves frying bacon and then mixing the grease with brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese to make a cross between a sauce and a dip. This "bacon sauce" can be used over eggs, meats, and, of course, used as a dip for your chips.
While you certainly don't need us to tell you that moderation is recommended when adding bacon grease or oils to your dips, there's no harm in experimenting to get more flavor. If you're stuck thinking about what sort of dip you'd like to try this method on, maybe you can take the advice of 35% of people, who call a certain dip their favorite.
