Great dips for entertaining!

I was making a dip for my Creative Memories Workshop tonight and thought I would put up some good dip recipes that are great for when entertaining guests. The first one is the one I made for tonight.

Spinach Stadium Dip
(thanks to Karen Meyer)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 10 oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, well drained
1/2 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

Mix...Chill...Serve...that simple!!
Great with veggies or sourdough bread. I buy the Melba snack bread and it's great on that too!


Bruschetta
(thanks to my mom)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tblsp. balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 tomatoes chopped
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup mozzerella cheese

Mix all ingredients except cheese. Put on toasted bread and then top with cheese.


Sausage Dip (aka Evil Dip)
(thanks to Crystal Zavala)
1 pkg. Jimmy Dean sausage
2 cans Rotel tomatoes
2 pkgs. cream cheese

Mix all in a crockpot and let it cook down. Stir occasionally. Serve with tortilla chips. Beware: VERY ADDICTING!!


Layered Dip
1 pkg. cream cheese
tomato, onion, and green pepper -- chopped and mixed together
salsa
cheddar cheese

Spread cream cheese on plate. Then layer in this order -- veggie mix, salsa, and then cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.
