Quick! Grab the chips! This easy Salsa Verde Taco Dip appetizer will be gone in no time at all.
You guys…who loves a good chips and dip appetizer? I am frantically raising my hand. I do in so many ways. And this tray of appetizer goodness is just right for so many occasions…parties, game day, girl’s night in, the list could go on and on. A couple of weeks ago, we went to a birthday party where they were serving up a taco bar. I volunteered to bring some kind of a dip appetizer and this is what I made. It received rave reviews on taste and presentation and was gone in no time at all.
I was trying to think of the best way to present a dip like this and it occurred to me to try my springform pan. It was perfect! Everything layered up nicely and it was easy to serve. I LOVE the flavor and color of salsa verde, so that’s what I used here but regular salsa would also work too. If you don’t have a springform pan, you can easily use a pie plate. Feel free to layer on any extra taco toppings you might have – chopped cilantro or olives, avocado would be delicious too if you’re going to eat it right away. Any way you top it, it’s sure to go fast! 🙂

I am a huge fan of salsa verde. It is my favorite. Why I never thought to make it into a dip, I have no idea but so glad you did. I will be making this.

This Salsa Verde Taco Dip was delicious and looked awesome! I added fresh bacon bits and 1/4 cup shredded Fontina cheese to the base mix but other than that I made it exactly like the recipe called for. It was a hit with everyone. Will be making this lots! 5 star
