  • Spoon it onto a baked potato for a zesty twist

Storage Tips

This dip keeps well in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days because the flavors really meld together beautifully as it sits.

Reheating Instructions

While I don’t find any need to reheat this dip (it’s meant to be enjoyed cold!), if you do have leftovers, just give it a good stir before serving again!

Freezer Friendly

Not really! This dip doesn’t freeze well due to the mayonnaise and sour cream separating, so it’s best enjoyed fresh.
