2. Blend Until Smooth
Process the ingredients for about 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. The mixture should be smooth, creamy, and free of lumps. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
- Refrigeration: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Stir well before serving.
