Is there a recipe for a dip on the label of the Southwest seasoning?? TIA:)
 
:D YES and it is easy and delicious-1 cup of mayo, 1 cup of sour cream and 2-3 tbsp of SW seasoning....it is so good that my father-in-law body blocked the bowl with that dip in it at a party we had once so that no one else could eat it but him!
 
Yes, 1 c. mayo, 1 c. sour cream, 2-3 Tbs seasoning. Great for veggies or tortilla chips. My family LOVES this seasoning! Mix with a little oil....toss with potato wedges....toss with cubed chicken. Yummmmm :)

Thanks :)
 
Make sure you only use mayonnaise. I had a host use Miracle Whip. It was not good. I don't like too much bite/heat, and I use 1 1/2 tablespoons.

I'll have to try it with both and see what I think:) I use miracle whip cause I don't like mayo but my hubby likes mayo and not mirable whip...so I have both:P
 
Just a note on the Southwest Seasoning Dip. It gets hotter (spicier) the longer it sits.
 
Miracle Whip would affect the flavor of dips made with all our seasonings, because it's sweeter than mayo. I've found that even people who don't care for mayo will eat it in the dips because the seasoning adds flavor - they aren't eating plain mayo.

Thanks for the tips:) I will probably end up making with the mayo just cause that seems to be the best thing to do.
 
I always use an 8 oz. cream cheese and an 8 oz. sour cream then add my seasonings. It is great! Good for those who do not like mayo.

I use 2 cups sour cream the mix and a little fresh lime juice with minced cilantro on top.
