Description:

This recipe is adapted from one I found on a calendar. I have put 'ranges' of quantities for the spices. Recommend you start out with the smaller amounts and add up to the larger amounts per your personal taste. Since it must be refrigerated for several hours it is a great make ahead dip for company! The click-able ingredients list was not working when I posted this recipe
