I love chips & dip! I could seriously have just that for dinner and be perfectly happy (but not very healthy). The combination of the salty chips and a creamy, flavorful dip is a match made in Heaven. So when I got home from work tonight, I decided I would make my own dip for an appetizer.
I came up with this dip recipe as a way to use that delicious vegetable cream cheese I bought for brunch. I knew I wanted to use mayo to make it smooth & creamy, but then I was worried it could be too rich. So I used lemon juice to add some acidity and cut through the richness. I thought the salad topper would add a little of that bacon flavor and a nice textural crunch. Finally, I used just a touch of seasoning salt & some pepper to round out this great dip.
I tasted it several times and then added a little more of this, a little more of that, until I was happy with the creamy texture and the flavor. Be careful you don't end up with something too salty or too sour.
My wife & I ate the whole bowl, and then she said "this dip is delicious". I said thanks, and that I could easily re-create it any time ... and now you can too.
