Pin ItMy Favorite Salad In A Creamy Dip
Caesar Salad meets cream cheese chicken dip with this tasty Chicken Caesar Salad Dip recipe. I serve it at parties with pita chips, tortilla chips, or vegetables. And I’m happy to say it disappears fast. Turning chicken Caesar salad into a creamy dip might be the best idea I’ve ever had.
Does it count as a salad if you serve it as a dip? Probably not—especially when you’re eating it with pita chips and there’s a layer of cream cheese involved. But honestly, I’ve realized I might prefer dips over salads anyway, so I’m perfectly happy with this delicious little twist. This cream cheese dip tastes just like chicken Caesar salad, but better. All those amazing salad flavors in a dippable party appetizer are beyond delicious. This recipe makes enough to feed a small crowd.
Tips for Beginners
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature. I like to take the cream cheese out of the fridge about half an hour before I start preparing the dip so it blends easily.
- Use good-quality Caesar dressing. If making homemade isn’t an option, choose a refrigerated dressing for the best flavor and texture. I like Caesar Cardini.
- Finely chop the chicken and lettuce. Small, bite-sized pieces make it easier to scoop the dip and ensure you get every ingredient in each bite.

Serving Suggestions
I love serving this creamy dip with pita chips, chopped veggies, a batch of homemade wonton chips, or homemade tortilla chips. I find it tastes great alongside a batch of baked Korean hot wings, as the creaminess pairs nicely with the spiciness of the wings. I’ll whip up a batch of this dip anytime I’m entertaining, whether it be game day, the holidays, or even for a movie night in.
