This stuff is addicting!! I serve salsa with broken pieces of bread or crackers. You may toss it with pasta or put on a salad, the possibilities are endless. I'm often asked to make it for parties because most people just adore this dip. -ADDED: I just recently discovered that this is Michael Chiarello's recipe & here all this time I thought my mother in law was a genius for coming up with this wonderful recipe.

This is originally Michael Chiarell's recipe from Nappa Style. He took it off his site because he now sells it in a jar for a hefty price. Good cheese, however is expensive.

This is a truly flavorful appetizer, that we just love. So many flavors in this that we love. One of my favorite appetizers to serve to my guests! I always add a thin slice of tomato on the bread before spooning on the salsa, added some chopped black and green olives on top, then more cheese, and then broil it to release all the wonderful flavors. Your right, it is addicting!

Anytime there is a potluck at work I get asked to make this. It is always the first thing gone.

I found that this was too strong tasting when just spread on bread. However, once broiled on bread it was very good. Thanks to previous reviewers for the suggestion of adding a slice of tomato. That was yummy.

Very good! I over processed so it was a bit pasty but it was fantastic broiled on baguette slices.
