Beyond how delicious this dip is, I love the fact that it can be served immediately without having to wait around for flavors to meld or the texture to set. That means you can whip up a bowl in just five minutes flat, right as guests are walking through the door! Easy tip: You can serve it chunky (unblended), or blend it for a minute to make it creamy. Either way is delicious!
