You can also use a stand mixer to do this if you have one.
• To assemble, spoon the cream cheese sour cream blend into your serving dish and spread to cover the entire bottom. Whatever dish you use, you want it to have an edge higher than the dip, like the pie plate in the photo. This will make sure as the liquid from the salsa separates it doesn't run right off of a platter onto your table. Next, pour the entire jar of salsa over top and smooth to cover the cream cheese sour cream blend. Next, cover the salsa with all of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Lastly, sprinkle with the diced onions. Serve with your favorite chips and enjoy!
