Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup salsa (mild or spicy)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Soften Cream Cheese: Leave the cream cheese at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make it easy to mix smoothly.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Salsa: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the salsa, stirring well until smooth and fully blended.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and finely chopped green onions, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve the chilled dip with tortilla chips or fresh vegetable sticks such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers for dipping.

Notes

  • Use your preferred salsa heat level; mild for a gentler flavor or spicy for extra kick.
  • Letting cream cheese soften completely ensures a creamy texture without lumps.
  • For added freshness, garnish the dip with additional chopped green onions before serving.
  • This dip can be prepared a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
  • Try substituting sharp cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy twist.
