Substitutions and Additions
- SOUR CREAM: Feel free to use low fat sour cream in this recipe if you prefer. However, I would not recommend using fat free, as it will really change the overall consistency of your dip.
- CREAM CHEESE: There are loads of different cream cheese flavors that exist. If you want to switch things up and try a new flavor, go for it! I would recommend the Garden Vegetable or Spicy Jalapeño flavors for a fun swap.
