We’re pretty simple when it comes to dips.  Fresh salsa, guac, done.  But this dip.  THIS DIP!  It is so good.  I made it for Dan’s birthday shindig this year and I had at least 4 different people ask for the recipe (I’ve sent it to exactly zero of them, of course…ahem).  So here it is, friends!  It’s all for you.Also, Memorial Day is one of my very favorite holidays.  Not for any terribly patriotic and poignant reason, no, but just because then it feels like summer is really, truly, officially starting.  Barbeques and swimming and camping and scantily clothed babies, these are a few of my favorite things.  I think this dip would be the perfect addition to any summer-kickoff festivities.

Happy Memorial Day!
