Boat Dip, also known as Rotel Ranch Dip, is one of those effortlessly addictive party recipes that disappears faster than anything else on the table. Creamy, tangy, and packed with bold flavor, this no-bake dip is perfect for casual gatherings, game days, lake weekends, and last-minute entertaining.
The base is luxuriously smooth thanks to cream cheese and sour cream, while ranch seasoning adds savory depth and familiar comfort. Rotel tomatoes bring just the right amount of zest and mild heat, balancing the richness without overpowering it.
Shredded cheddar and pepper jack cheeses give the dip body and texture, making it scoopable, satisfying, and irresistibly cheesy. Fresh green onions and herbs add brightness and a pop of freshness that keeps the dip from feeling too heavy.
