As one of the most iconic Mexican restaurant appetizers, queso is a must-have dip if you're going to be putting out some tortilla chips. Trader Joe's new White Queso Dip puts a slight twist on the classic queso recipe by adding in tangy white cheddar and mixing in cream for extra richness. The cheesy dip is then mixed with sea salt and onion, as well as mild red and green bell peppers. Finally, a touch of [diced jalapeños](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheddar-jalapeo-bacon-dip) are added for just a hint of heat. The end result is a dip that pairs just as well with chips as it does with fresh veggies.
