Canada
Day officially kicks off holiday season for me here in the northern hemisphere.
Kids have big smiles on their faces, and adults are gearing up for family
getaways. Some families head for their cottages or vacation homes while others
prefer to pack up the trailer or tent and venture into Provincial or State
Parks armed with bug spray and bathing suits. Still others choose a
stay-cation, opting to stay at home, hang by the pool, or go on day trips with
their loved ones. Whatever method of holiday people decide on, the anticipation
of being with family for one or two weeks is well worth the wait!
Since
this will be our last summer at our lake home (cue the tears), we’re having a
big family gathering to say good-bye and celebrate all the good times we’ve had
here. I’m expecting a good size crowd, and have plenty of food on the menu. One
such appetizer I’ll be preparing—Family
Fiesta Dip—is popular at any summer bash, especially when family and
friends drop by. So, juice up your taste buds and dive into my easy to make
spicy dip at your pleasure.
What you Need:
250g
package of cream cheese (soft)
1 tbsp.
margarine
½ cup of
mayonnaise
1 small
jar of salsa (vegetable chunk style)
1 medium
red pepper, finely chopped
1 medium
green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium
tomato, finely chopped
3 green
onions, finely chopped
1 cup
shredded cheese of your choice (I prefer the nacho or tex-mex brand)
1 bag of
Tortilla chips
What you Do:
MIX cream
cheese, margarine, mayonnaise until smooth. Spread in a medium-sized dish with
edges to prevent spill over.
COVER
with salsa – not too much so it’s not runny.
LAYER as
follows: chopped red pepper, chopped green pepper, chopped tomato, chopped
green onions, and then top with shredded cheese.
Keep
refrigerated before serving. Serve with Tortilla chips (and napkins).
