Title says it all. It is the BEST. Simple to make and keeps in the fridge for several days. We used it as a dip with chips, served it with eggs for brunch and over salmon for dinner. A new go to favorite.
Just made this for a Memorial Day party and let me tell you….it is SO GOOD. It’s simple and O quickly put it together the night before. So fast to whip together and very tasty. I topped with some avocado and cilantro, served with veggies and tortilla chips.
