This is a very simple dip to use with fresh fruit. It can be served in the same fashion as vegetables (crudites) and dip, a bowl of this surrounded on a plate by melon balls/slices, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, cherries, blueberries, bananas and apple slices.

  • If you like a spicy dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
