- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a bit more salt, pepper, or horseradish depending on your preference.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Once chilled, give the dip a good stir and serve it with your favorite crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables. This dip also works wonderfully as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
