Queso Blanco Hot Dip
Developed by one of our Community Innovation program winners, Lindsey Monger! Lindsey’s kids love white queso and she wanted to create something creamy with mild heat and simple ingredients. Compared to store-bought, this version has less sodium, no added oil, artificial flavours or additives! Perfect for dunking chips and crudites or drizzling over nachos.
