Notes
- It's best to start with softened cream cheese.
- I prefer an equal mix of cream cheese and cottage cheese, but you can use all cream cheese if you like. In this case, I recommend spreading the ingredients out over a pizza pan so that the cream cheese is not too strong. Add extra salsa as needed.
- Serve tortilla chips, bagel chips, Fritos, or vegetables.
- If you plan to bake the dip, be sure to grate the cheese instead of buying prepacked cheese. You'll get a much better melt!
