If you are an Old Bay lover, you are going to love this dip.

The flavors of Old Bay bring about nostalgic feelings for me and I am definitely a fan.

I lived in New Jersey until the fifth grade, so with Maryland being such a close neighbor (where Old Bay originated), I was introduced to the distinctly delicious flavors at a young age. To this day, Old Bay brings me right back to my childhood!

Using Old Bay in a traditional seafood boil is how most people use the zippy seafood seasoning, but I decided to use Old Bay in a dip for this easy recipe.

No matter what you're dipping, I know you're going to love this delicious, creamy sauce!
