I made a bunch of wings for our Super Bowl party. In my opinion, you can’t eat Buffalo Wings without some blue cheese dip.
But I liked the looks of this recipe. It is blue cheese, but just a little different.
To start, there is a lot more in this than the normal dip.
Being Mid Century, there are pimientos. I am not sure why pimientos are not as popular anymore. I like them though. They are a bit sweeter than a bell pepper, but the same firmness and texture.
The horseradish gives the dip a little spicy flavor. Not too much, but not too little.
The green onion gives the dip a little crunchiness.
The dip is also thicker due to the cream cheese than the usual thin dip
It was great with the buffalo sauce. It was also really good with the vegetables in the crudités.
