Notes
You can serve Lake Day Dip with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks. It's also great as a topping for tacos or grilled meats. For the best flavor, let it sit for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days for best freshness. You can add black beans or corn for extra flavor and texture, or mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamier dip.
