Ingredients for Cream Cheese Salsa Dip
Cream Cheese – Use a block of cream cheese for the best creamy (regular or reduced fat). Spreadable cream cheese works but the dip may be too soft. Salsa & Seasonings – Use hot, mild, or medium salsa, according to your preference. And stir in a packet or homemade taco seasoning. We love a little spice so I add jalapenos but you can skip them if you’d like. Cheese – Sharp cheddar has a bold flavor, but use what you have on hand. Try pre-shredded Mexican cheese blends or pepper jack. Variations – Vary the spices depending on what you have on hand. Toss in fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or oregano. If serving hot, beef it up with sausage crumbles or ground beef.
