A delicious Mexican style dip or side dish. My mother started making this when I was ten, (around 1971), and it was so simple I had the ingrediants memorized even then. I make it for get together's all the time and there is never any left overs.

CHEF JOHN'S QUESO DIP
I used to make something very similar to this queso dip at the Mexican restaurant I worked at in college, where we called it 'chili con queso.' At first I thought it could be thicker, but later I realized the saucy texture was the key to its addictive irresistibility. Instead of too much cheese piled up on your chip, we just get a beautiful, silky coating, and as soon as you finish one, you can't wait to dip another, and another, and another, until there are no chips left.

Tips:
- Use fresh St. John's wort: Fresh St. John's wort has a more vibrant flavor and color than dried St. John's wort.
- Chop the St. John's wort finely: This will help the herb to release its flavor and color into the dip.
- Use high-quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will greatly affect the flavor of the dip. Choose a robust, flavorful olive oil that you enjoy the taste of.
- Be careful not to overcook the St. John's wort: Overcooked St. John's wort will become bitter and lose its flavor.
- Season the dip to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice you add to the dip will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount of each and then add more to taste.
Conclusion:
St. John's dip is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new dip to try, give St. John's dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
