Made this at my dad's, and he LOVED IT!! I ate it as a sidedish, and really wished I had bread or crackers, because it would be a great topping. Dad ate it on top of spaghetti with sauce and then plain spahetti said it tasted like one of those italian salads you can buy in a deli. The hot flakes are good at first, but the heat does seem to "spread" over time so I will skip them next time.The kalamata olives really do make the difference in this- I wouldn't use any other kind. Made for ZWT7.

Made this as part of my dinner. I diced the shrimp up because I ended up using thin crostini, I toasted with olive oil and garlic. Made is like a spread almost. One note, with the shrimp, I wouldn't let it set all night. I did 3 hours which was plenty with the lemon juice. But very tasty, simple, good flavor. They were out of whole wheat Pitas and just didn't have time, some used a baguette which was perfect. Cut thin and toasted, shrimp was full of flavor and very tasty. Saving!

I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years. One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s. Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s. So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic. Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!</p>
