We created a special 12-layer dip for the 12th Man. It’s a lot of ingredients, but it is, after all, 12 layers. Nonetheless, with their powers combined, those layers make one heck of a tasty dip.
Seafood-rich, it’s got all the flavors of the Emerald City. Even if football isn’t your sport of choice, give this dip a chance. It may just turn you into one of the supporters this dish is named for!

2 cucumbers, finely chopped into small chunks
1 ½ tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
1 cup sour cream

Recipe Note
Pro Tip:
This dip can be prepared ahead of time and kept refrigerated. If preparing ahead, wait until you’re about to serve to add the bagel chips, or they’ll get soggy.
