3 Safe Dividend Stocks for Risk-Averse Investors

Dividend stocks are a great way for risk-averse investors to invest, as they have been shown to be less volatile than the broader market, making it easier for you to stick with them. Also, with dividend stocks, you receive dividends each quarter, giving you cash to reinvest as opportunities pop up. With volatility creeping back into the market, we asked three Motley Fool contributors what they think are safe dividend stocks for risk-averse investors. Here's what they had to say:

Dan Dzombak: One safe dividend stock risk-averse investors can count on for income is Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB). Dan Caplinger: If you're looking for a dividend stock you can count on to keep paying you increasing amounts of income every year, then it's hard to do better than Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG). Jason Hall: My pick for risk-averse investors -- General Mills (NYSE: GIS).
