Notes

How to store
Fridge: bean dip stores pretty well in the fridge for up to 5 days, I personally prefer 3 days for optimum freshness. Make sure it is stored in an airtight container.
Freezer: portion into small containers for convenience or Ziploc bags and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight to thaw as at when needed.
