Personal Notes:
I usually add red pepper if they are not unreasonably expensive. I also like fresh tomatoes in season and canned, chopped tomatoes in winter. I always put in more cilantro then called for and I like to add chopped black olives to the mixture. Green onions and/or chopped chives are also nice additions.
* Serve it chilled to scoop on bread, such as Arab pocket bread (cut into wedges), slices of French bread, or dark, firm pumpernickel; or accompany the dip with raw vegetables, such as zucchini or cucumber slices, carrot or green pepper sticks.
