Can't believe I haven't left a review! This is a vinegary base, so if you don't like vinegar, it's probably not for you. Every time I take it to a gathering, I have at least 1 request for the recipe. Yummm! This makes a lot, so when I make it at home I just halve the recipe. I usually use red bell peppers, because that's what I have on hand. And I use 3 or 4 cloves of garlic.
