FAQ

Do I need to chill the dip before serving?
Chilling for 30 minutes helps the flavors meld and makes the dip thicker, but it can be served immediately if you’re short on time.

What kind of salsa works best?
Any jarred or homemade salsa works—use hot, mild, or medium depending on your spice preference. A chunky salsa adds more texture, while smooth blends keep it creamy.

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! This dip can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge in an airtight container.

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, plain Greek yogurt works as a substitute for a tangier, protein-packed version.

How long does this dip last in the fridge?
Stored in an airtight container, it stays fresh for 3–4 days.

Can I use a different soup mix flavor?
You can, but the savory herb and garlic variety gives the best balance with the salsa.

Is this dip gluten-free?
Check the label on the soup mix and salsa—some brands are gluten-free, but always verify to be sure.

What can I serve this with besides chips?
Try it with sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, pretzels, crackers, quesadillas, or even as a spread in wraps or sandwiches.
