Jaymi's Notes:
Dip. It's one of those things that is too easy to pick up pre-packaged at the store. But peeling the lid off a plastic container and plopping it on the table is not nearly as satisfying, healthy, or delicious as making a dip or spread from scratch, exactly to your preference. And thankfully, making a flavorful spread does not have to be time consuming.
I love this recipe because the ingredients are things you likely have in your cupboard and herb garden or produce drawer in your fridge. You can make it up at a moment's notice, and indeed it only takes a moment to make it. I tossed everything into a small food processor and it was done in no time.

Kelly's Recipe:
This is a nice spread to keep in your refrigerator for when you need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or if you invite some friends over for a glass of wine. You can serve it with pita or crackers or use some crudite and dip them. You could also use it as a spread on a grilled vegetable sandwich.This doesn't take much longer to make than the time it takes to cook the onions. A little bit of chopping and then you toss everything into a bowl and mix it up and you have a versatile spread. I used some sage from my garden, but you could substitute other herbs if you have them. It would be good with fresh basil or thyme as well.
