# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally ten minutes flat, which means more time for actually enjoying your party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
  • The pickle brine is the secret weapon that brightens up heavy buffalo sauce while keeping everything impossibly creamy
02 -
  • This dip actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge for an hour because the flavors have time to mingle and develop
  • If you are making this for a crowd consider doubling the recipe because it disappears faster than you would expect
03 -
  • Chop your pickles slightly smaller than you think you need because big chunks can overwhelm a delicate chip
  • Taste before serving and add more pickle juice if you love that bright acidic kick
