Tips For Serving Dips
- To make life easier, prep the simple dips ahead and refrigerate till needed. This will obviously depend on the specific recipes instructions.
- If you are taking a dip to a party, make a little extra and leave some at home. It is always nice to have a little treat the next day.
- If you are hosting, plan for about a 1/4 of a cup of dip per person. But please do make a little extra to accommodate for the folks who really loooooove dips.
- Set your table in advance: Get your dishes, glassware, serving platters, and utensils set out the night before to make sure you have all you need and can check that task off your list.
