Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Instead of serving this creamy dip in a dish, spoon it onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and create a log. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
  • tip 2
    If you'd prefer to use fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil leaves and 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary.
