Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. If you prefer a lighter dip, you can substitute half of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt. To enhance the flavors, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of garlic powder. Feel free to incorporate other veggies like bell peppers or cucumbers for added crunch. This Chunky Veggie Dip pairs well with Cheese Baguettes for a delightful snack.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir as the ingredients may separate.
