Recipe Tips

Special Extra
Serve this fun dip in several small margarita or martini glasses. Pour additional 2 Tbsp. lime juice into shallow dish. Add 1/4 cup coarse sea salt or coarse sugar to separate shallow dish. Dip rims of empty margarita glasses into lime juice, turning to evenly coat rim of glass with lime juice; dip edge of glass into salt. Let stand until coating around edge of glasses is set before filling with dip and garnishing as directed.
Variation
To instead serve as a frozen margarita dip, freeze prepared dip 1 to 2 hours or until dip is almost frozen but still spoonable. Spoon onto serving dish. Garnish with lime slices and reserved whole strawberry; sprinkle with reserved lime zest and orange zest.
Fun Idea
Portion 2 Tbsp. dip into each of 40 individual disposable cordial or shot glasses; sprinkle with reserved lime zest and orange zest. Serve with WHEAT THINS and strawberries as directed.
