Recipes for this dip are easily found online, in cookbooks and on vegetable seasoning packets used to flavor the dip. Served in a bread or regular bowl next to a plate piled high with Hawaiian rolls, spinach dip makes a tangy treat.
Nachos and Dip
Lots of people enjoy the crunch or tortilla chips served with a spicy, creamy dip. Combining processed cheese chunks with salsa, microwaving and stirring the mixture into a thick, rich dipping sauce for chips is a quick snack that can be prepared over and over during the party, each time the bowl is emptied.
Deviled Eggs
