Cranberry Jalapeño Dip Tasty and Simple Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen, thawed)
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 4 mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 4 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Tortilla chips or crackers for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the cranberries under cold water, ensuring you remove any discolored ones. If using frozen cranberries, ensure they are completely thawed and drained.
- In a food processor, combine cranberries and chopped jalapeño. Pulse until the mixture is chunky but well mixed (about 5-7 pulses).
- In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whip with a hand mixer or fork until smooth and creamy.
- Fold the cranberry and jalapeño mixture into the cream cheese mixture until thoroughly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions.
