Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Salsa (your preferred spiciness level)
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the garlic cloves on a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly to form a small package.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 10 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into the cream cheese mixture. Mash well to incorporate the roasted garlic.
Add the salsa, lime juice, cilantro, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salsa for extra spice or more yogurt for a tangier flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve chilled with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a flavorful accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
