I LOVE a good cold dip especially in the summer after a swim. I’ve had this dip saved in my “Need to Try” file for a couple of years. Apparently, it was a TikTok recipe? I’m not a TikTok’r so I totally missed it if it was thing. I’m usually always a little behind on this stuff.
It’s been holding steady in the 90s here in Kentucky so I decided that this Boat Dip might be the perfect thing to take to my book club. It was simple, quick, and packs a lot of flavor. I have no idea why it’s called Boat Dip…maybe because it would be easy to make on a boat?
There’s different variations online and you can definitely add to this one and make it your own.
Boat Dip
16 oz container of sour cream
1 packet taco seasoning
2 cups of shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
1 can diced tomatoes with chiles (Rotel) , drained
Drain your tomatoes (this is important because you don’t want your dip to be watery!). Mix everything together in a bowl and let it chill.
Serve with your choice of chips. I went with Fritos Scoops!
You can fancy it up with some jalapeno slices on top or some chopped tomatoes. A little cilantro if you’re not opposed to it would make a nice garnish too!
You could absolutely make this a bit healthier by using nonfat Greek yogurt in place of the sour cream and swapping in some reduced fat cheese.
Doesn’t that look divine?
Make yourself a big bowl of Boat Dip and dive in!
From the heart and from the holler,
Minda
