Very fast, delicious snack. I usually add a handful of green olives or kalamata olives to punch up the flavor. This is great for parties, we have friends who are gluten-free, low-glycemic, vegan, and/or carb-conscious who all enjoy this dip.

Have not tried this yet, but Giada's recipes are always good. Anyone try this with Kalamata olives instead of black?
