Directions
Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until well combined but still coarse. Adjust seasonings if needed. Add more olive oil (1 Tbsp at a time) for smother consistency. I ended up using about 3 Tbsp of olive oil (good fats).
Transfer to serving bowl and serve with veggies and/ or fruit (I love it with sliced apples). Or cover up with plastic wrap, refrigerate and enjoy later.
Serving Size: Makes about 6 (1/3 cup) servings
