Orange dip

I grew up in a small town that didn’t have a lot of  Restaurant options or much else for that matter! But a town about  35 miles from us had a great Mexican food restaurant that served this addicting orange dip. The restaurant is still as good now and is was then and the dip just as addicting.  I don’t live close anymore and I get cravings for that awesome orange dip ALOT!  This recipe is pretty spot  on and and simple to whip up!

 

 

 

 

 

1 Quart of Real Mayo

2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon White Vinegar

1/4 cup Paprika

2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder

Juice of 1 lime or lemon

Ok , now I need you to brace yourselves because the next steps are hard!

Place all ingredients in a bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Cover .  Here is the really hard part… Refrigerate for an hour or two. ( that’s always the hardest part for me.. The waiting)

serve with chips and enjoy
