Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 oz (227 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) salsa, your choice of mild, medium, or hot

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make it easier to spread evenly in the serving dish.
  2. Spread Cream Cheese: Using a spatula, spread the softened cream cheese evenly in the bottom of a shallow serving dish or plate.
  3. Add Salsa: Pour the salsa evenly over the layer of cream cheese, spreading it gently to cover the surface without mixing the two layers.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. For best results, keep refrigerated until serving time.

Notes

  • Use your favorite type of salsa for varied flavor profiles – mild, medium, or hot to adjust the spice level.
  • For a smoother dip, you can mix the cream cheese and salsa together instead of layering.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but add salsa just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Try adding chopped jalapeños or olives for extra kick and texture.
