Serving and Storage Tips
What to Serve With This
There’s no shortage of choices for what to enjoy with this dip! Here are some ideas:
- Crackers: Any kind you fancy will do, think buttery or spicy for an added twist!
- Bread: French bread, baguette, or even pita bread, you can’t go wrong!
- Vegetables: Fresh cucumber, carrot sticks, or bell pepper strips are great for a healthy crunch.
Storage
You can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again!
Reheating Instructions
This dip is best served fresh, so I recommend enjoying it cold after it’s already been made. However, if you want that warm, creamy vibe back, popping it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds should do the trick.
Freezer Friendly
Honestly? Not really advisable here, this dip just doesn’t hold up well when frozen. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
