Tips & Tricks
- Make the sour cream dip recipe ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight to give the flavors time to meld together. The best part is that this will also save you time when you’re preparing for the party.
- Scoop out the center of a sourdough bread loaf and fill it with the dip for a fun presentation. Break the extra bread into small chunks for dipping.
- For an even more unique presentation, serve your veggie dip in a hollowed-out bell pepper.
