Notes
*I made this recipe and ate it with pita chips. If you eat it with vegetables you may want to add another 1/4 teaspoon of salt, but honestly, I think it would still taste great without the extra salt!
*I did not test this recipe with a high-speed blender; however, have read other recipes online saying you can use a high-speed blender instead of a food processor. If you try it out let us know!
