# How To Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, salsa, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and uniform.
02 - Evenly spread the dip mixture over a large round serving platter, creating a flat and even surface.
03 - Transfer 60 milliliters of sour cream into a piping or zip-top bag and cut a small tip. Pipe concentric circles onto the surface of the dip.
04 - Using a toothpick or skewer, gently drag lines from the center of the concentric circles outward to form a spiderweb effect.
05 - Position whole black olives as spider bodies on the web. Use sliced olive rings to arrange eight legs around each spider body.
06 - Surround the dip with baby carrots, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and tortilla chips to serve as dippers.
