super tasty!! added some mozzarella cubes and mwah! chef’s kiss
So delicious!!! A smash hit at any party!
Perfect
Fresh and easy!!!! That’s my kind of appetizer!!!Always a crowd pleaser.
Very fresh and good. Family loved it. I didn’t follow instructions but just used the same ingredients.
This well known spread is very good, but in this version I’d add a few more things to make it extra special. First of all I’d add a finely chopped medium white onion and I’d actually boil the onion for about 3 minutes to make the raw onion flavor less harsh and to make them a bit softer. Then I’d also add some Italian dressing to bring together that whole flavor. If you store it in Italian dressing it does help to preserve that fresh flavor.
Excellent and simple.
Less quantity more quality. Wheres the balsamic……Lame!
