Huck Family Ranch and Pickle Dip
Felix and his mom loved Nalley’s Dill Pickle Dip years ago, and he giggles as he recalls eating the entire jar with her in an evening. They would sit and share a bag of potato chips, using those salty, crunchy scoopers to pick up every last bit of dip while watching I Love Lucy, The Waltons, and Sonny and Cher. I did the same with my mom (she loves onion dip), and we would always sit together for Little House on the Prairie, Laverne and Shirley and CHiPs (she thought Ponchorello was hot). That memory inspired him to create this delicious recipe. So, now we can pull up reruns on YouTube and munch away and laugh while watching The Jeffersons and the rest of our favorite childhood shows. So, pour yourself a TaB or an RC Cola, grab a bag of good ol’ Lay’s Potato Chips and pull up a chair. It’s time to play some Yahtzee and live the good life! This recipe only takes a few minutes to pull together, and it’s fun to make with the kids, so get them involved and make some fond family memories of your own for them to reminisce about a few decades down the road. And don’t forget to try our other dips, like Caramelized Onion Dip, or Pimento Cheese Spread, both of which are simple and delicious party favorites!
