Not that good
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made it last night and it was my first Sandra Lee recipe that I've tried. It tasted like nothing last night but this... morning it is better. I added way more than 4 tbls of olives for additional flavor. I agree with the review above - the marscarpone cheese just really doesn't work in this dish.Read more

Didn't care for the mascarpone cheese. May be better with sour cream. Our olives weren't that hot, but the red pepper... flakes did make the dip a bit pinkish in appearance.Read more
