Clandestine Dip (aka Garbage Dip)

This is a huge favorite from my childhood. It’s one of those awesome family recipes from the 70s that everyone makes a little differently. And it’s perfect party food, a real crowd pleaser. Plus, it’s better after sitting for 12 hours in the fridge, so it's an easy dip to make beforehand. Enjoy!
