cheese dip

Warm chip accompaniment

Cheese dip is a thick, creamy sauce made primarily from melted cheese, served warm as a dip for tortilla chips, vegetables, or bread.

The term often refers specifically to the yellow-orange queso dip popular in Tex-Mex cuisine: We ordered cheese dip and salsa as appetizers.

Cheese dips range from simple melted processed cheese to elaborate recipes with peppers, meat, or spices.
