4. Chill & Serve:

   • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

   • Serve with crackers, pita chips, crostini, or fresh veggies like celery and bell peppers.

Pro Tip: For extra kick, add a splash of pepperoncini brine or a pinch of red pepper flakes!
