This was delicious- a real crowd pleasure. IT has a very fresh flavor and I love all the garlic. I blended it to a chunky consistency but think it also would have been interesting with a little more liquid and more pureed

This is a very colorful dip and quite tasty. I made a 1/3 version of this recipe and served it with freshly baked warm French bread. I probably enjoyed this more than Dh but there's no red meat or potatoes in it so what can you expect? Too bad, more leftovers for me.
