Tips to make Creamy Party Dip

1. Mix it up: Try different types of cheese like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for varied flavors.
2. Herbs!: Add fresh herbs, such as dill or cilantro, for a fresh twist.
3. Kick it up: A dash of hot sauce can spice things up if you’re feeling adventurous.
4. Make it light: Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to bump up the protein and make it a tad healthier.
