Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sour cream
  • 1 packet (or 1 tbsp) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 cup (240 ml) salsa
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Tortilla chips or crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to soften.
  2. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Add sour cream and ranch seasoning mix to the whipped cream cheese and mix on low to medium speed until combined and spreadable.
  4. Pour salsa into a separate bowl; drain excess liquid if too watery.
  5. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly as the base layer in a shallow 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) dish.
  6. Spoon the salsa evenly over the cream cheese layer without mixing.
  7. Scatter fresh blueberries evenly over the salsa layer.
  8. Arrange halved cherry tomatoes and sliced green onions on top.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  11. Serve chilled with sturdy tortilla chips or crackers.

Notes

Soften cream cheese well before whipping to avoid lumps. Drain excess liquid from salsa to prevent sogginess. Chill dip for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and layers set. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with plant-based alternatives and use vegan ranch seasoning and cheese.
