Ten years ago, a glass of beer and some bar food were like heaven to me! And lets face it, if I hadn’t gotten sick, I’d surely still be eating it because most of you would agree bar food can be some of the best comfort food there is! So when Friday night rolled around and we had a craving for some queso dip we decided to whip up a healthier version at home. Just a clean dip with real ingredients. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
I paired this queso dip with Beanfields rice and bean chips. I was not compensated by them in any way and opinions are all my own. For more healthy Eat Pray Get Well snacks click here.
White Queso Dip Recipe
Recipe type: snacks
Ingredients
- ¾ cup organic shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup organic shredded gouda cheese
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 1 tbsp grass fed butter
- 1 tbsp good quality salsa - I used 365 hatch chili salsa
- ½ tomato chopped (for garnish)
- 2 tsp or more cilantro - save some to sprinkle on top
- Dash of garlic powder
- 3-4 drops of hot sauce - I used Cholula brand- don't skip this step, it gives it great flavor and don't worry this does not make it too spicy
- 1-2 chopped SLICES jalapeno pepper (and save a couple for the topping)- we used pickled jalapeno
Instructions
- Melt butter in saucepan, add coconut milk and cheese and melt on medium heat. Add all other ingredients. Top with cilantro, tomato, and jalapeno.
- Feeds two people. Double recipe for more.
- Pairs perfectly with Beanfieldsbean & rice chips.
Oh my mercy this looks awesome!!! I am going to make it!! TY!!
Thanks Donna! I know how much you like dips! 🙂
Could a person make a big batch of this and it keep in the fridge/freezer? If so, how long do you think it would keep? My mom and I are super lazy cooks, and I’m new at it. However, we are trying to be healthier, so making a large batch would really help. 🙂
HiAlisa – I would advise not too, cheese dip always seems to be at it’s best when you first make it….the texture will change drastically over time. Other recipes are fine to freeze or make in bulk but not this one 🙂 Erin
I see. Well, I’m still looking forward to trying out this recipe when I have the time! 🙂 Thanks for replying.
