01 - Pair the chilled mixture with your choice of dippers like pretzels, veggies, crackers, or cornbread.
02 - Pop the mixture in the fridge for half an hour before serving.
03 - Toss in all the other ingredients and stir until it's nice and blended.

01 - Jarred jalapeños soaked in vinegar are way less spicy than raw ones.
