Recipe Tips

Use your favorite vegetables that inspire you.
Get creative with presentation. I use bud vases inside glasses to create a more dimensional serving effect.
Add some spice of powdered chili instead of sumac, if you prefer your dip on the spicy side.
Substitute fresh jalapenos for sundried tomatoes too.
Keep it all chilled as the party goes on. Use trays on top of ice.
