Ingredients
For the dip base:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature for easier blending)
- 8 oz cottage cheese (small curd preferred for smoother dip)
For the toppings:
- 2 large diced tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce (I use Tanimura & Antle)
- 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 5 finely sliced green onions
- 1 cup salsa (chunky style works best)
For serving:
- tortilla chips
Step 1: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
Begin by blending the cottage cheese and cream cheese together using a food processor until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
This will serve as the base layer for your dip.
Step 2: Assemble the Layers
Spread the blended cheese mixture evenly in a shallow pan, such as a 10-inch Pyrex pie plate.
Next, evenly spread salsa over the cheese mixture.
Sprinkle sliced green onions on top of the salsa, followed by a layer of diced tomatoes.
Spread shredded iceberg lettuce over the tomatoes.
Step 3: Add the Final Touches
Top the dip with a generous amount of grated Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese.
Ensure the cheese is spread evenly over the lettuce for a balanced flavor.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the layered dip with sturdy tortilla chips for scooping.
This ensures that each bite is filled with the delicious, creamy, and crunchy layers.
Enjoy your fresh and flavorful dip!
