We have a wine shop and I tried this for our Valentine's tasting and everyone loved it!!! I added more red pepper and used cilantro instead of parsley. I also was maybe a little heavy on the garlic and onion because I love them but just a little extra is always good : ) I put each on a skewer with a chunk of avocado.<br/>Katherine -
I made this for an Easter appetizer and everyone loved it! I tripled the red pepper flake based on previous reviews. What a delicious, simple, "make ahead" recipe! -
These really are delicious, but not spicy with this amount of red pepper. A problem that is easily remedied, and I like this recipe because the lemon isn't too lemony or tart (live with a lemon-hater). Thanks. -
Excellent recipe! Everyone had only GOOD things to say, will definitely make this recipe again. AND it was SOOO easy! However, I doubled the red pep flakes and still didn't get much of a kick, so I recommend a full teaspoon if you really want to taste it! -
We had a Healthy Cook-Off at work and I won 1st Prize with this recipe .. Served them on top of a ceasar salad! I wanted something I could make in advance and serve cold, so I didn't have to warm it up at work. It was totally AWESOME the next morning! :) THANKS!

<p>I've collected recipes since I was a teen. After all these years I'm trying to get all my index cards and clippings, that still sound interesting to me, posted here so that I can find them and eventually make them! <br /> <br />I've posted some of my Mom's recipes. I regret not having paid more attention to my Grandmothers' cooking. They made some dishes that I miss and there were/are no recipes for them. <br /> <br />I have a wonderful DH and 2 wonderful sons. They are thrilled that I found this site since they directly benefit from it! Before finding 'Zaar, I was less of a cook and more of a recipe collector but now I try many more things and we're having more fun in the kitchen (at least I am)! <br /> <br />Thanks for all your ratings, comments and help in the forums AND for posting so many great recipes. You've enhanced my cooking skills and expanded my horizons! I've learned so much. <br /> <br />For fun, I also like to read fiction, travel, see movies and shows, shop (and I love to browse thrift shops and rummage/garage sales for cookbooks, etc.). <br /> <br />The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a new star Brillat-Savarin</p>
