How to Store: Store the dip in an airtight container or cover it with plastic wrap. Label the container with the name of the dip and the date it was made. Store the dip in the refrigerator. Consume the dip within 3 days. It's important to keep dips refrigerated at all times, as they can spoil quickly due to the presence of dairy products.
