Neiman Marcus Dip

This chunky little dip packs a lot of flavor 
for having so few ingredients.
We're not sure why it is called Neiman Marcus Dip.
Maybe because it taste so "rich"...
Like a million bucks.
Whatever the reason...it is good!

 It just takes 5 ingredients.

Fresh green onions straight from the garden.
Thanks Jeanne!

Shredded cheddar cheese.
We love the little hand held grater from IKEA. 
It holds all of the cheese inside, 
then you can put it anywhere 
you want it...on the chopping board, 
straight in a casserole, or right in a bowl. 

Easy as can be.
Chop the onions.
Grate the cheese.
Then dump in the bacon bits,
 almonds, and mayonnaise.
Stir and refrigerate for a few hours
 so all of the flavors blend together.

 Now if you have picky onion haters in your family
 like we do in ours... 
 (You know who you are Amber & Cory) 
 then just leave out the onions.  
 Usually when we make it we stir everything together
 but the onions, set aside some for the haters,
 then throw the onions in and mix.


Neiman Marcus Dip

5 - 6 green onions
 8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 jar Hormel Real Bacon Bits 
1 pkg. slivered almonds

Chop the green onions.
Shred the cheddar cheese.

Mix the onions, cheese, mayo, bacon bits,
 and slivered almonds together.
Chill for a couple hours.
Serve with Ritz crackers or corn chips.

Enjoy!

  2. It could be called that because it was probably first served in the Neiman Marcus Restaurant.

  4. I'd love to try this, but as I'm outside the US I don't know how much bacon bits or almonds there are in the packages you recommend. Could you provide cup or weight measurements please?

    3. Why not Greek Yogurt? (Oikos Plain - nice and thick)

    4. We have tried it with Miracle Whip but it didn't taste as good...too sweet. BUT the good thing is that you can experiment and try whatever you like...you might come up with something even more delicious.

    5. If a recipe calls for real mayo, use Duke's if you can find it...so much better than Hellman's or any other!

    6. hahaha lol surely you will die
      Duke's kicks Hellman's Hiney!

    7. I would definitely use Sour Cream in place of the mayo! Try it if you aren't a mayo lover and you will see its just as good if not better!

  8. If you let the dip sit too long, the bacon bit will rehydrate and look like little bits of ham. Doesn't affect the taste, but just so you know.

  11. I make mine with three different cheeses and cut up a few tomatoes and a bell pepper makes it more colorful. But the big difference is I mix it all up with Green Goddess dressing, it is wonderful. I am going to try yours sounds delicious. Thank you!!!

    1. Roasted chick peas (you can google and find several different flavors)
      or like another suggested sunflower seeds.
