Storage Options
To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The dip can also be frozen, making it last for a month, though for the best texture, thaw it overnight in the fridge and give it a good mix before serving.
Variations & Substitutions
For a healthier option, consider substituting sour cream with Greek yogurt. If you want to bring some heat, add jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper. Vegan? No problem! Use plant-based cream cheese and vegan cheese shreds instead.
