I just made this for a BBQ tomorrow. And of course my husband and I had to taste it to make sure it’s good. We’ve already eaten 1/2 of it. It’s not making it to the party. Seriously delicious. Or should I say Damn Delicious.

With a super short ingredient list – mayo, freshly squeezed lime juice, chili powder, and cotija (or feta) cheese – this dip has just the right amount of creaminess for scoopable abilities with a hint of tanginess and a bit of spice all around.

Serve with your favorite chips/bread/crackers/crisps and dive in immediately, please.
