Absolutely delightful. This is such a great dip for summer. I thought it was very easy to make. Just do the first step the night before and throw everything else together the morning of the event and pop it back in the fridge, just so that it has time to rest and let all the flavors blend. The only issue I have with it is that is positively addictive!
