Spicy Kick: Add some diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce for a zesty twist that will leave your guests talking!
Creamy Avocado: Incorporate mashed avocado for a creamy richness that pairs beautifully with the savory meats.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

For a make-ahead option, prepare the dip the night before and let it chill in the fridge. This will allow the flavors to develop even more!
If you don’t have one of the meats on hand, feel free to substitute with your favorite deli meats or even a plant-based alternative for a vegetarian version.
To save on time, use pre-diced vegetables if available, or do a mini food processor blitz for uniformly chopped ingredients.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days — but ours never last that long!
