Storage and reheating tips
If you find yourself with leftovers (which is rare, given how delicious it is), storing them is easy. Place any uneaten dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can safely be stored for up to three days. If you want to enjoy it later, you can freeze it, but keep in mind the texture may change slightly when thawed. Just be sure to check for any off-odors before serving leftovers.
