# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The tangy crunch of pickles cuts through rich buffalo sauce in ways regular buffalo dip never could
  • Takes literally ten minutes to throw together but tastes like you obsessed over it
  • Vegetarians finally get something beyond basic veggie trays at game day parties
02 -
  • Cold dip straight from the fridge has better texture and flavor than room temperature, so do not feel pressured to serve it immediately
  • The flavors need at least thirty minutes to meld together, so if possible make it ahead of time
  • This doubles beautifully but you might need a bigger mixing bowl than you think
03 -
  • Use a microplane to grate fresh garlic instead of powder if you want to really level up the flavor
  • Warm it in the microwave for thirty seconds before serving and it becomes this incredible gooey version of itself
