Overall, I thought this dip was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This dip is way too expensive. I can make a similar dip at home for a fraction of the cost.

I followed the recipe exactly and my dip turned out runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dip is a little bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.
