Fun Dips Part 4

This is a continuation of the Fun Dips! Here are some super tasty dips for you to try! Please don’t be discouraged by the names of these dips as some of them are pretty strange. All of these recipes are from my family cookbook. Note: Serving sizes are not given with every recipe.

Fruit Dip

Ingredients:

• ·         1 (8-oz.) pkg. of softened cream cheese
• ·         ¼ cup of powdered sugar
• ·         1 teaspoon of vanilla
• ·         ¾ cup of brown sugar
• ·         3 tablespoons of milk

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together. Serve chilled. Use as a dip for fruit, or mix with fruit for a fruit salad.

Pico De Gallo

Ingredients:

• ·         1 small bunch of Cilantro
• ·         ½ of a large red onion
• ·         1 ½ cups of diced tomatoes (recommended cherry or Roma)
• ·         1 can of corn (canned or fresh is fine)
• ·         1 can of black beans (drained)
• ·         2 avocados
• ·         1 to 2 tablespoons of lime juice
• ·         1 to 2 teaspoons of Jalapeno (slices or juice)

Directions:

All of these measurements are approximate. Add more or less based on your preference. Place all prepared ingredients into a medium sized bowl and mix. Chop ½ of a large red onion or a whole small onion. Dice approximately 3 Roma tomatoes or a small package of cherry tomatoes. Drain one can of corn (recommend the yellow and white or sweet variety). Drain and rinse one can of black beans. Chop two avocados. Finely chop cilantro to fill ¼ - ¹/₃ cup (a handful out of the bunch). Use leaves and upper stem only, do not use the stem below the lower leaves. Add the lime juice and jalapeno juice to taste. Keep chilled until served to keep the avocados firm.
