Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier dip, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. If you prefer a creamier texture, mix in a bit of sour cream or cream cheese. You can also substitute the Cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack for a milder flavor or even a vegan cheese for a dairy-free option. This dip is perfect for parties, especially alongside Chicken Pie Salad.
