Since this recipe does not include mayonnaise, you don’t have to worry about it going bad during your holiday party.
Not that it will have a chance to go bad: it’s always one of the first appetizers to run out when I serve it, no matter how much I make.
Hot or Cold – The Choice is Yours
Need a hot appetizer? Spoon it into a greased ramekin or stuff it into a bread bowl and bake it at 350°F until it’s bubbly, around 15 minutes or so.
Rather serve it cold? It’s delicious that way, too. Just leave yourself an hour or so to chill it in the fridge before serving.

More Serving Ideas
I love a recipe that can be used in a variety of ways. This one is no exception.
- Use it as a filling for stuffed mushrooms. Just brush both sides of the mushroom caps with a bit of olive oil, tuck a hefty spoonful of dip into each cap, and bake them at 400°F for 10 minutes, or until bubbly.
- Try it with chicken. Cut a pocket into a boneless, skinless chicken breast and tuck a large spoonful in there before baking.
- Fancy up Fish Friday. Spoon and spread a couple of tablespoons onto cod or tilapia filets, sprinkle with a bit of smoked paprika and bake at 400°F for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
