Easy Salsa Dip

This salsa dip is just cream cheese spread on the bottom of the bowl, covered with salsa and cheese on top. It is one of my favorite quick snacks.

My Favorite Spinach Dip

I cannot remember where this one came from, but my mother first made it for my graduation party and we've been making it ever since.

Ingredients:

• box of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and excess water strained
• 8oz brick of cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded cheese, cheddar ( I use a Mexican Blend)
• 1 bunch of green onions sliced
• 1 small tomato, diced

Directions:

1. In a microwavable bowl, add spinach, cream cheese, shredded cheese and green onions
2. microwave for 3 minutes in 1 minute intervals, stirring between each interval
3. add tomatoes and mix well
4. serve with crackers or pretzels

Note: Reduced fat cream cheese and cheeses work fine in this recipe. Sometimes, I make a tomato rose for the center, if I am bring this to a party.
