This easy, cheesy sauce makes a great dip to serve along with these Air-Fried Shishito Peppers.

The best part is that it can easily be customized to suit personal taste and heat preference.

I’ve been known to stir in a little fresh salsa, black beans, or just a few dashes of cayenne pepper sauce.

It’s all good!
