We had a really low-key Superbowl Sunday this year. My in-laws came over with wings and dessert, and I made an appetizer.
This was nice and different from most party dips. The pickled red onion was a great addition to the dip. My only issue with it is that I had a wedge of Danish blue cheese that I chopped up, and since it wasn't crumbled, it was a bit too chunky and kind of difficult to scoop up. But it still tasted great!
We dipped a variety of Late July chips and celery sticks into this, and it was delicious.
