Notes

For the best Neiman Marcus Dip experience, make sure to chop your vegetables finely for a consistent texture. Resist the urge to skimp on the chill time to allow the flavors to fully develop and blend together. Feel free to customize the recipe to your liking by adding a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness or swapping out the red bell pepper for another vegetable like finely diced carrots or celery. If you are watching your fat intake, you can use light mayonnaise and sour cream. Do not be afraid to experiment and make it your own!
