This dip is eagerly received by my family and guests whenever I serve it. If you keep bagged shredded cheese and a few ingredients on hand, this is easily and quickly put together. Dips are great for entertaining: you provide the dip & some dippers and you have a self serve dish! This dip is fresh, flavorful and makes a pretty presentation for your table. It is easily doubled for a group; expect recipe requests!
