I am someone who always makes and serves way too much food, but I would rather be the hostess with leftovers than the hostess that runs out of food. This recipe makes 2 cups of dip. This serves roughly 8 people. If your party is larger, I recommend doubling the recipe and splitting it into several smaller bowls for serving. In my experience, people tend to be eat more dip if there are several different bowls from which to access it.
