What Can I Make with DIP MIX?
It seems that everyone uses dip mix. I’ve managed to accumulate quite the collection of dip mixes. (Ranch, jalapeno, Mexican, etc.) Finally I figured out some uses — and I’ll post them below. 
What do you do with dip packets other than make DIP?

Tuna: If you enjoy tuna sandwiches, but get tired of the boring standard of tuna and mayonnaise, then make some ‘fancy’ mayonnaise. A few hours before you want your tuna sandwich, mix some mayonnaise and dip packet together. Let it sit. Then, when you want to enjoy your tuna sandwich, simple mix the ‘fancy mayonnaise’ with your tuna – and you’ve got a winner.
Turkey Wrappers: Have cream cheese sitting around? Mix it with some dip and microwave for a few seconds. Then, get out a tortilla wrapper, pile some of the cream cheese and turkey slices on the wrapper and microwave for another few seconds. The cream cheese should be all smooshy and the wrapper will roll up nicely. Add fresh veggies or just enjoy as is.
Potato: Mix a packet of dip mix with a container of sour cream (to taste). Let it sit for at least one hour. Microwave or bake your potato as you normally would. Then, top with cheese, veggies, leftovers, meat, beans, etc – and a dollop of your flavored sour cream. Voila!
Pasta Salad – Any noodle salad that pairs mayonnaise with noodles can be enhanced with dip mix. It’s much cheaper than buying deli salads and it’s very simple. All you need are noodles, mayonnaise, dip mix, veggies and meat. Try it. You’ll love it!

As a rub:
Use the dips to coat your chicken breasts or salmon fillets before grilling. You can mix it with mayo first or just put it on there dry!

Marinade.
My favorite thing to make with leftover dip or salad dressing is a dump recipe. Which is basically you dump the dressing or dip into a ziplock bag and throw in some meat. Whatever you like. Boneless skinless chicken, pork chops, tenderloin, fish, anything works. Then you either put it in the freezer or the fridge and cook it either in the oven in the marinade or on the grill.
Trust me, it couldn’t be easier.

You mix the dip mix packet with about 1/4 cup of water and poach sliced chicken breasts in it. When the chicken is done, stir in a package of cream cheese, remove from heat, and serve over noodles or stir in cooked macaroni. Yum, yum. Have used Ranch, Fiesta Ranch, and Italian. Can’t wait to try a new one.
