Blend together to the flavor and consistency of your preference: a tub or two of spreadable-style cream cheese, a container of Colorado Springs’ own freshly made Baja Gourmet Salsa (original or fire-roasted), and chunks of Alaskan smoked salmon. Hand-mix to desired consistency and enjoy! (If you try to make it in the blender or food processor it will likely be too liquid.) All the ingredients — and advice to go along with it — are available at Ranch Foods Direct.

Or buy yours already made up! "Leona and Janine's dip" is now $6 per container at the store.
