I first tasted this dip on New Year’s eve three years ago. It was love at first bite.

I would not only eat more than my fair share of the appetizer, but I had to have the recipe so I could make it for myself. whenever. I. wanted. Because, yes, it’s that good.

Anytime I’m in doubt as to what to bring for a party, what to give for a hostess gift or what to make for my family when we’re feeling especially overworked, overstressed or underwhelmed with our present circumstances, I throw open my recipe binder, find the well-worn and stained scrap this recipe was jotted down on and go to town.

It has never disappointed me, nor will it you.
