I just had this spread at a candle party and it was very good. I will probably make this at the next get together.

This receipe is a hit with everyone I know. When there is an occasion to use this spread, friends and family tell me (not ask me) to bring this. I found it also goes well on Triscuits or any other cracker that you enjoy.

I've made this several times. Lots of stuff to chop, but it's worth it. Unfortunately, I usually eat more than anyone else!

I used sesame melba snacks with the dip. Everyone loved it and it was completely gone.

What a great recipe for a new morning breakfast! Everyone at work wanted to know where I got bagel from Einsteins?
