This is delicious. And it 100% needs the hit of acid from some lemon juice. I tasted it as-directed and was like, yeah it’s good. But tasted flat. I added a bit of lemon juice and BOOM. All the flavors come alive. Kudos to the person who originally suggested this. It’s accurate. Enjoying with a glass of wine will also help 😉

Just made this dip. Absolutely delicious! I’ve been wanting to make this for a while. After starting the recipe, I realized that I didn’t have dippers. So I made homemade chips out of flour tortillas. Perfect with the dip!

I would give this recipe 10 STARS if I could!!! This was so easy to make and packed with delicious flavor. I did not change or doctor this recipe at all. Why bother to mess with perfection!!!!
Thank you Ina for never failing to give me the ultimate perfect recipe. I measure a recipe by asking myself “ would I make it for company?”
The answer is YES YES YES!!!!

Made this many times when the first cookbook came out, but had sort of forgotten about it. Remembered it and made it today because I have a vegan and a vegetarian coming for cocktails tomorrow. It’s as good as I remembered it and will be back in my rotation for sure, even for omnivores!
