The Perfect 10-Minute Party Dip

This Neiman Marcus Dip is like the Neiman Marcus Casserole. That casserole was actually inspired by this dip that used to be served at the cafe at Neiman Marcus locations starting in the 1950’s. It was a huge hit then and it’s a huge hit now! When you are unsure what to take to your next gathering, this is the one to make!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Ingredients Needed: (See Recipe Card Below For The Full Recipe)

• sliced or slivered almonds– The almonds are a signature part of these Neiman Marcus inspired recipes. They can be left out if you’re really are against almonds but they add a nice contrasting crunch. Toasting the almonds adds a nutty and warm flavor to the dip. You can use walnuts or pecans in place of the almonds. If you can’t make this with nuts, I really suggest another recipe that is similar like Million Dollar Dip.
• thick-cut pre-cooked bacon– you don’t have to use precooked bacon, you could fry up some fresh bacon. I don’t know that I would use the packages of bacon pieces in this. I mean, you could but the crunchy texture of the bacon works best in those prepackaged bacon pieces are more soft and chewy. If using precooked bacon, you can pop it in the air fryer, microwave or a skillet for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and crumbly (directions will be on the back of the packaging)
• cream cheese– softened to room temperature. Use these Tips to Soften Cream Cheese Quickly if you need them because you really want the cream cheese soft, as it will mix more easily with the mayonnaise. 
• mayonnaise– This will add a creamy and tangy flavor to the dip.
• shredded sharp cheddar cheese – While sharp cheddar is my favorite for. this, you could use pepper jack for an extra kick.
• sliced green onions
• black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder
• hot sauce– this is an optional ingredient

How To Make Neiman Marcus Dip:

To a small skillet, add the almonds over low to medium heat. Stir until they are just starting to turn slightly brown. You want to move them around while they toast so they don’t burn. Transfer them to a bowl immediately once they are golden brown. Note: This step is optional if you don’t like to toast your almonds. Heat the pre-cooked bacon until it is crumbly. You can do this in an air fryer or a skillet. Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to a bowl. Mix until fully combined. 

Add the remainder of the ingredients. You can keep a sprinkle of almonds, bacon, and green onions to the side to top the dip once it is all mixed together.  Mix with a spoon until all ingredients are well incorporated. 

If you set the almonds, bacon, and green onions aside, you can sprinkle them over the dip.
