  • Add dip to desired serving bowl and serve cold with veggies, crackers, bread and/or pita!

Notes

Tip:
  • If cooled before serving, let it dip into room temperature before serving. (Cream cheese will be too stiff to be taken if immediately removed from the fridge.)

  • Attach a small spoon of dish in the sauce so you don’t have to worry about the double sauce out there!
  • Save the part in your bread bowl! Freeze and use as croutons or to make meatballs later!
