This is another great dip to serve with crackers, toast, or various breads. Don't let the Mediterranean connotation prevent you from using this dip on other ethnic breads; I personally like having this topped on pumpernickel bread. There are many possibilities for this dip, if you have any great tasting variations, let me know. This is another quick-fix for unexpected company or just for yourself. The rich flavors and easy preparation will surely make this recipe your personal favorite.
