Reviews
We really enjoyed this with lime tortilla chips. Did not have garlic salt so used garlic powder but got the salt from the chips. Will definitely make again.
This is amazing. I made it for a super bowl party and everyone wanted the recipe. My husband says it is his favorite dip of all time!
I found it a bit salty. Will cut back on that and maybe just do garlic powder not garlic salt. I also used large shredded cheese( my mistake) and it didn’t incorporate into the cream cheese.
I ended up putting it on French bread and toasting it. Serving it like that.
I may use less cream cheese.
Thoughts?

Delicious but makes a ton. Hit of the party!
Do you put the pistachios in right before serving?
My hubby and kids love pistachios. Now we adore this dip. Great for a potluck. Thanks Trisha!
This is the best! Great with pita chips or crackers. Must try if you are a cheese lover.
EVERYONE LOVES it! Super easy!
Can be hard to find white sharp cheddar but it’s worth it. If Aldi doesn’t have it I can usually find it at Walmart. Aldi always has shelled pistachios too. And their cream cheese is very inexpensive.
Trisha, I made this for an office pitch-in when you & Garth were doing your shows in Indianapolis (2017)
Every time I make this I get requests for the recipe so I have the link saved on my phone, ready to send.
