How Can You Fix a Salty Taco Touchdown Dip?

[Happy Mom]

I made this dip for my show last week and found that it was too salty even though I used "reduced sodium taco mix".

These are the changes I made: Since I used the 16 oz. can of refried beans, I doubled the amount of cream cheese to 2 (8oz. packages) and added another 1/4 cup of sour cream. I added a teaspoon of dried parsley for color and a touch of sweetness. This worksed well to cut the salty taste of the cream cheese mixture from the taco mix.

The guests at the show raved about the dip so I considered this a successful revision. I hope this helps other consultants who found the dip to be too salty.

I made this dip at my last show, but I did not find it too salty. Instead of taco mix, I used our Southwestern Seasoning Mix. I think it had a wonderful flavor and the guests ate every last bit of it.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the dip! I've had similar issues with dips being too salty in the past, so it's great to hear about your successful revision. The addition of cream cheese and sour cream sounds like it would not only cut the saltiness, but also add some creaminess to the dip. I'll definitely keep this in mind for future dips I make. Thanks again for the tip!
