    This dip is perfect for a spur-of-the-moment get together because it's literally the easiest entertaining dip I've ever made! Honestly, it hardly deserves a recipe card as it's just cream cheese and salsa blended together, but sometimes easy is best.

    All my friends know I have a food blog and have come to expect that I bring something, usually a baked good, to gatherings. I love baking, but sometimes you need a break from the sweets (and sometimes my oven is out of room to add one more cookie sheet!).

    You can use your favorite salsa whether it's chunky salsa, hot salsa, or whatever else you like to make this easy cream cheese dip. Whether it's game day, Cinco de Mayo, Taco Tuesday or whatever else, this truly is it's the perfect easy appetizer.

    • homemade or store-bought salsa

    🔪Instructions

    ⏲️ Storage

    You can store the dip in an airtight container for a couple of days, but it's really best served right away. Otherwise, it can become a little runny and look a bit unappetizing.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    This Cream Cheese and Salsa Dip couldn't be easier. You can make this as simple or elaborate as you like by serving it with just chips, or create a charcuterie board like tortilla chips, Homemade Pita Chips, carrot and celery sticks and other dippers.

    Sometimes for parties I like to create a whole bunch of dips and salsas and everyone can enjoy their favorites. This cream cheese salsa dip would be perfect alongside Homemade Mango Salsa, Layered Taco Dip and Cowboy Caviar.

    📖 Variations

    If you have a few extra minute, you can jazz up your cream cheese and salsa dip by adding shredded cheddar cheese to the top or some black beans. Corn kernels, diced onion or sliced black olives would also be good. Some diced green onions would also be a great addition to this easy dip recipe.

    For a smoother dip, you can use picante sauce instead of salsa. If you don't have cream cheese on hand, you can make variation using 16-ounces of sour cream instead.

    For more flavor, you could also add a little bit of Taco Seasoning.

    😋 Similar Recipes

    If you're looking looking for a dip that includes layers of fresh veggies and all the flavors you love in your tacos, try my Layered Taco Dip. I know you'll love it. Pico de Gallo, Greek Yogurt Dip and Toffee Apple Dip are all great for parties and potlucks, too!

    I have quiet a few yummy and easy recipes so it's not hard to find the perfect appetizer. Next time, check out one of these great recipes:
