Renshaw Dip

"I fell in love with this dip 7 years ago when I had it at a work function. It was made by my supervisor, Julie Renshaw and had been dubbed simply "Renshaw Dip" by the staff. It is SOOOO GOOD! Whenever I make it, people just gobble it down. It is best to make it AT LEAST 24 hours in advance so the flavors have time to meld together."

  1. A wonderful, and easy dip to make. I guess chi-chi's is a brand name of salsa that is not available to me, so I used a local salsa that has a heavier cumin taste. Mixed with the ranch dressing mix and cheeses, the dip had a spicy, robust flavor. We didn't have any for leftovers, so I don't know if it gets hotter after day one. Thanks so much for sharing this delightful dip recipe.
     
  2. This is a great dip! Only change I made was that I didn't use the hot salsa; I was expecting older relatives for dinner, and wasn't sure about giving them too much heat. They loved this and we did too!
     
  3. This dip was "ok" - I guess I was expecting more bang for my buck. It was tasty - but fell a little flat for me.
     
  4. Great dip. Oddly, I liked this even better with potato chips than tortilla chips. I put some minced jalapenos in the dip, and they made it really spicy, but were super good in it.
     
  5. Tasty!! Easy to make! A real crowd pleaser!

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
