Roasted Garlic Dip does need a little time to put together, if only because it needs to make sure all of the fragrant, roasty flavors of the garlic are perfect enough to fit into the tangy, creamy dip. But once it does all finally come together and you can just dive into the bright, herbaceous flavors awaiting… mmm, it really is like nothing else. Roasted Garlic Dip kicks all store-bought dips in the head because it’s just so much better coming out of your own kitchen. Once you try it for yourself, you’ll know it to be true!
