This classic poolside dip is a delicious summertime recipe. It was so named because it is light, creamy, and packed with flavor, making it the perfect snack for a day spent lounging by the pool.
We like to take it with us on picnics or to serve it for backyard BBQs or other summer gatherings. Of course, you’re not limited to making this during the summer. We love this delicious dip anytime of the year.
