Variations
It is a dip, so you can easily make it your own. Here are a few suggestions.

- Use Greek yogurt to replace the sour cream.
- Use gorgonzola cheese for a milder blue cheese flavor.
❓FAQs
Your dip can not set out for more than two hours at room temperature. Or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°. If you reach those limits, dump it.
To keep the dip out longer, it needs to be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.
You can make up the dip and cover it tightly in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Do not freeze.
