Party Dip

Recipe From: Laura Watson

This tasty, appetizing dip was paired with Sun Valley Rosemary pretzel chips where it was seen making its rounds at Malia's birthday party.  

You can choose a favorite chip,  cracker, pretzel, or bread slices to enjoy with the dip.  If you aren't a fan of spicy, omit the jalapeno or cut in half and take out seeds. The original recipe called for 2 jalapenos but when I made it, I found one jalapeno was plenty (no seeds).   It calls for a dry package of ranch dressing.   I used an organic version that doesn't have the MSG and other garbage like the regular kind.   :)   Oh yes.....I thought green onions would make a nice addition so I added 1/2 cup;  added a nice touch. 

16oz cream cheese, softened

1 pkg dry ranch dressing mix 

2oz chopped black olives

1 jalapeno peppers, unseeded and chopped

1 red pepper, chopped

2/3 C. cheddar cheese

 

In a large mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients together with an electric mixer.  

Serve with your favorite tortilla chip, cracker or pretzel.

optional-- I added 1/2 c, green onions
