The best part about this recipe was the pita chips. Delicious and crunchy.....they could even be eaten without the dip. I, too, found the dip rather lackluster....and this was after adding extra bacon and chives! The texture was gorgeous, so creamy and smooth but it just wasn't very flavorful. Sorry, Giada, but this recipe is a miss.

I guess I am hard to please, was not all that excited with this recipe. I have made much more exciting dips than this. I added more bacon, and decorated the top with bacon and chives to make it look prettier. Found this so so...

This went over fantastically for a group of friends. They especially liked the baked pita bread. I had more dip at the end of my bread supply! Told them they had to start really dolloping it on there! HA! I did not add chives (yuck to the dip. Definitely a winner for work parties that isn't the same ol', same ol'.
