This Cream Cheese Salsa Dip is a crowd-pleasing delight! 

Made with only 2 ingredients. It’s the perfect appetizer – mild, versatile, and caters to all taste preferences.

🥫 Ingredients

• 1 package of softened cream cheese
• 1 cup tomato salsa (chunky salsa, mild salsa, whatever you prefer)

This dip is meant to be mild and perfect for big crowds. The cream cheese really brings down the heat and is suitable for just about any palate. 

You can change it up if you like by adding a dash of garlic powder or onion powder. Or give it a little more texture by adding ½ cup cheddar cheese and ½ cup Greek yogurt. 

🎸 Why This Dip Rocks

👩🏼‍🍳 Instructions

• Combine the softened cream cheese with your favorite salsa in a food processor or blender.

🌶️ Adjusting the Heat

If the dip’s too mild, consider adding a sprinkle of cayenne or a few tablespoons of really hot salsa to turn up the heat. For a milder taste, mix in a tablespoon of sour cream until you reach the desired spice level.

• Blend the ingredients until you achieve a creamy dip consistency. 

Look at the orange color. That’s because we used tomato salsa. Yes, you can change it up and use green salsa instead. See my roasted salsa verde recipe.

This is a great introductory dip for someone who is not used to spicy food. The cream cheese is rich and the flavors are very mild.
