This excellent dip/spread recipe was shared with me by Mary Kay DeFalco. Mary and her husband are currently touring the United States with their travel trailer.
They are excellent cooks, and made the most wonderful Italian pasta with meatballs for a large group of us. This is excellent served
with champagne or wine of your choice.
