In the Layered Party Dip with Rustlin’ Rob’s Jalapeno Cheddar Dip Mix recipe, you indicate under Direction #6 to add lettuce but it is not indicated in your ingredients. Picture doesn’t seem to have lettuce either. Is this instruction correct? Also, is this just a dip or could it be considered a main dish?

This particular recipe originally had Romaine lettuce as an ingredient. But, if the recipe was made to far in advance the lettuce would wilt, so it was removed. It is supposed to be used as an appetizer, but, you can make this a main dish if you like =)
