FAQ:
Do I have to drain the rottel tomatoes?
It’s completely optional! But it removes the extra moisture and it helps the dip from becoming to “watery”.
Can I make the boat dip in advance?
Yes! Prepare the dip, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve.
What are some alternatives to sour cream in this recipe?
If you prefer not to use sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, or a dairy-free alternative like vegan mayonnaise or vegan sour cream.
Storage instructions:
Store any leftover boat dip in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

- Spinach and Artichoke Dip: Add chopped spinach and artichoke hearts to your dip for a classic and savory variation. You can also use feta cheese to enhance the Mediterranean flavor.
- Smoked Salmon Dip: Incorporate smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, and capers for a delightful seafood dip with a distinct smoky taste.
- Shrimp and Bacon Dip: Combine cooked and chopped shrimp with crispy bacon pieces for a rich and savory dip. You can add some chives and a squeeze of lemon for extra freshness.
