Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Salsa (mild, medium, or hot, based on preference)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tbsp Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- as needed Tortilla chips, crackers, or veggies (for serving)
Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 20-30 seconds to soften it slightly, making it easier to mix.
Add the sour cream to the softened cream cheese and stir until smooth and well combined.
Pour the salsa into the bowl and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or shallow baking dish. Spread it evenly to create a smooth layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
Optional: Microwave the layered dip for 30-60 seconds until the cheese is melted. Alternatively, serve it cold for a chilled dip option.
Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, for an extra pop of flavor and color.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy!
