Notes

My Top Tip: Don't go overboard with the garlic! Garlic can be a dominant flavor, especially when it's raw, so be careful not to use too much (you can always add more to taste). I even like to cut my garlic cloves in half and remove the sprout in the center to take the spicy heat out!
Storage: You can store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
