Notes
Notes: *Did you know that “allow to marry” means to allow the flavors to mix and
mingle in a mixture? This step can be crucial in many recipes and this is one of those
recipes. Grocers sell bags of shredded iceberg lettuce which make this recipe even more easy to
prepare. If time is an issue but money is not, pre-cooked bacon may be purchased as well. This dip doesn’t hold very well as a leftover due to the lettuce. Plan this dip when plenty
of folks are around to enjoy it or scale it down to serve as many as desired. One
consideration is to add lettuce to the amount you plan to serve, reserving the rest for
another time.
