DELICIOUS MEXICAN DIP



DELICIOUS MEXICAN DIP

The best!  Everyone raves about this dip when I serve it. I have found that using spreadable cream cheese is even better in this recipe.  If time is a factor, this is an easy dip to whip up the night before or the day of a party.


4 oz spreadable cream cheese (125 g)
11/4 cups grated Cheddar cheese (300 mL)
1/3 cup sour cream (75 mL)
1/4 cup medium-hot Salsa (50 mL)
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 tbsp finely chopped chives (45 mL)

 In food processor with sharp blade or in blender, process cream cheese, until smooth.  Add cheddar cheese, sour cream, half of Salsa and garlic; process. In small bowl, combine processed cheese mixture, remaining Salsa and chives.  Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve cold or microwave on high power 30 seconds.  Serve with assorted vegetables or sliced cucumbers and/or low-carb crackers (and Tortilla chips for those not following a low-carbohydrate diet).

Helpful Hint:  Finely chopped green onions may be used instead of chives.
