Learn to build your own astromech -- with garlic, bacon, and avocado.

January 29 is National Corn Chip Day and what better way to spend this a-maize-ing holiday than with a hearty astromech dip as a companion?

This creamy hors d’oeuvre is an homage to droids that help in battle. Made with savory garlic and bacon, this appetizer’s green detailing comes from velvety avocado, to give it the distinguishing features of R2-A6, the astromech that was part of the Bravo Squadron in the Battle of Naboo.

Battle hunger with this R2-A6 Garlic Bacon Dip and a side of chips on National Corn Chip Day!
