Even though this dip offers a dairy-based alternative, we still feel that it's at its best within 4 to 7 days (as if there'll be any left after day 2...). If it's been sitting in the fridge awhile and you notice that it's gotten a little watery, just stir the liquid back in. You could drain it off but be aware that your dip will probably become a little thicker without that extra moisture.
