Notes: Keep the cheeses cold in the refrigerator until ready to grate them.
⢠Juniper uses Dukeâs mayonnaise for this recipe, which has a distinctive flavor.
⢠Be sure to use smoked paprika for this dish.
⢠Juniper uses Crystal Hot Sauce as the hot sauce.
⢠While Juniper uses a flavorful garlicky juice from the pickles they make in house, any pickle juice will do.
⢠The optional ¼ cup of cream cheese adds an extra creaminess and keeps the dip from separating, but it is not used in the Juniper recipe.
⢠The dip is baked and served in cast iron at Juniper, which helps it retain heat. You may use individual 6- or 8-ounce ramekins for this appetizer. Adjust the timing of the bake accordingly.
