There are many layered dip recipes out there - I have a couple of excellent ones in my collection, too. But this is a tasty new version that I think you'll enjoy! :) Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup mayonnaise or 1/4 cup vegetarian mayonnaise (vegenaise) |
1/4 cup sour cream or 1/4 cup plain yogurt |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
salt and pepper, to taste |
1 cup minced iceberg lettuce |
1/4 cup minced water chestnut (the crunch is nice) (optional) |
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese |
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled or 8 slices vegetarian bacon |
4 roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
3 green onions, chopped |
Directions:
1. Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
2. Spread the mixture onto a serving plate.
3. Mix together the minced lettuce with the water chestnuts (if using).
4. Top the cream cheese mixture with remaining ingredients, in order: lettuce/water chestnut, the cheeses, cooked and crumbled bacon, chopped tomatoes, and green onions.
5. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
6. Serve with bread rounds or pita chips for dipping.
7. Note: you can also mix the water chestnuts into the cream cheese mixture instead of into the lettuce, if you prefer.
