Jump to Recipe

Summer time is all about quick and delicious eats that you share with friends and this Spicy Thai Tuna Dip is up to the challenge. So easy to make and a creamy goodness. I don’t have a fondness for tuna, I never have. However it’s so affordable that I have challenged myself to find delicious ways to include it in my diet. This dip is a winner.

Once you dip, you “Can’t stop, won’t stop”!

Taking one scoop of this dip is impossible. I found myself taking a taste only to have eaten an entire bowl of dip. The spicy Thai tuna doesn’t have a lot of heat but has a sweet flavor that Marty’s well with the saltiness of the cheese. The tuna provides hearty chunks in the dip that fills you up nicely. A mixture of cream cheese and shredded cheese adds a couple layers of flavours and creates a great texture for the dip.

Spicy Thai Tuna Dip. Dip Dip Hooray!

There are so many options to eat this Spicy Thai Tuna dip with. Starting with chips there are numerous but I recommend going with your favorite tortilla chip. Original chips work best because it doesn’t risk clashing with the flavour of the dip. Pita bread is a great and filling option. A nice, warm pita bread is absolutely perfect. Toast it and slice it up.

Veggies can also hold their own for our low carb lovers. Understandably with all the fat and calories in the dip, it pays to go light on everything else. Cucumbers, carrot sticks, celery, whichever is your favourite it will be delicious.

Just in time for two long holiday weekends, let’s make up a batch of this delicious dip to enjoy with friends and family. Let’s get cooking.
