This recipe is wonderful served with a sliced baguette or plain crackers. It can also be mixed together with cream cheese and/or sour cream for a great vegetable dip, or tossed with pasta, potatoes or rice. Whenever I make this appetizer, I always get lots of requests for the recipe!

I made half of this recipe and it will fill a 7 ounce jar when done. This is wonderful on toasted baguette bread or crackers. I am going to try it on a wrap or sandwich also. After setting overnight you can taste the flavors in this spread. I made in my blender and did not take much time at all. Thanks! Read More

I made this for Easter and it was GONE! Compliments from even my brother in law who never says a thing! Left out the banana peppers cuz I wasn't sure what they were. Trying it with them today(I think) for Greek Easter-are they chile peppers or sweet yellow fresh or jarred? Great either way I am sure. Thanks so much!!! Read More
