Casa Ole Green Dip


Everyone has a favorite restaurant that they grew up eating at, for me it was Casa Ole. Casa Ole is a small chain Mexican food restaurant found in Texas. What made this Mexican food restaurant stand out from all the other Mexican food restaurants in Texas was their green dip.

Their green dip is so good and they seem to be the only ones making it. This dip is one of the things I miss the most about Texas. This should give you a solid idea of how awesome this dip is. So, imagine my delight when my friend Melanie told me she had the recipe! (I almost cried.) I didn't want to get my hopes up too high, but when you live in Oregon and you grew up on Tex-Mex..........
I made the dip and it was good! This copy cat recipe has to be close to the exact recipe, if not their exact recipe. Mine was quite a bit thicker then what they serve, but I wasn't sure how to go about thinning it. It was thick enough to hold my chip up. Feel free to leave a suggestion on how to thin dip.

  1. Sounds delicious! A little whole milk might help thin it a bit.

    1. The last batch I added a tiny bit of water. It seemed to do the trick.

  2. YUMMMMMY! One of the few things I miss from the midwest is TexMex. You just can't find the same stuff here! I loved going in and sitting down to fresh tortillas, queso, salsa, and chips! MISS IT.

  8. I'm wondering if this is similar to Green Sauce, which is used to top Tacos, Burritos, etc. I'd love it, but I'd have to delete the spicy peppers.
