</div>


<p>Beyond how delicious this dip is, I love the fact that it can be served immediately without having to wait around for flavors to meld or the texture to set. That means you can whip up a bowl in just five minutes flat, right as guests are walking through the door! <strong>Easy tip</strong>: You can serve it chunky (unblended), or blend it for a minute to make it creamy. Either way is delicious!</p>

<p>If you love a classic Reuben Sandwich, you&rsquo;re going to adore this dip. It&rsquo;s a fun, shareable twist that I love to make with deli corned beef. After all, there&rsquo;s no need to cook a whole roast from scratch! That said, this dip is also fantastic to whip up as a way to use up any leftover corned beef you have from any previous dinners.&nbsp;</p>
