This is probably the best dip I have ever had and easy to prepare - it was a crowd pleaser - Excellent!

This is fabulous. I added a tiny bit of smoked paprika, and left off the tomato only because my garden has no ripe ones right now. 
This was soooo good. We scooped it up with our bread and talked about using it to toss with pasta, too. I can think of lots of ways this would be good — as a spread on a veggie sandwich, layered in a 7-layer chip dip, the possibilities keep going! Thanks, Engrossed!
