All good parties involve a lot of standing around gossiping and picking on finger food, and this is the kind of food you want table side to be picked from!
This is a wonderful dip ....a velvety gunge of charred red pepper , onion and olive oil with mild undercurrents of garlic!
Serve this with Pita bread , lavash , cucumber/carrot batons and any crudites that you want to provide!
I love serving dips & finger food at parties specially when my girlfriends are over! This is my new favorite dip and I hope you try it out!
