Cream Cheese Dip with Sesame Seeds and Soy Sauce

Dip de Queso Crema con Ajonjoli y Salsa de Soya

In Mexico, cream cheese dips are very popular at parties and get-togethers. It’s not always salsa and chips for snacks which might surprise you. Did you know that dips are also called dips in Mexico? Cream cheese is known queso crema or “queso Filadelfia,” like one of the best-known brands. Enjoy this recipe for a super simple, and I mean super simple, super tasty cream cheese dip made with soy sauce and sesame seeds.

How to Make

You will need 8 ozs of cream cheese, 2 tsp of sesame seeds, and 4 tsp of a good quality soy sauce.

Put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl except for 1/2 tsp of the sesame seeds which you will reserve to sprinkle on top of the dip when you serve it.

Blend with a fork until the soy sauce and sesame seeds are fully incorporated.

Once the soy sauce is fully incorporated, the cream cheese will only be lightly tinted with the soy sauce. This still needs some mixing.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Serving

To serve, place the dip in a serving dish, sprinkle with a few sesame seeds, and top with a couple of parsley leaves. Use it as a topping for your favorite bread or crackers
