Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Everyone's taste is different. Some people may want more lemon/cumin/tahini/whatever, so use this recipe as a starting point and make adjustments as you see fit. It's always best to start with less and add from there--you can always add something to a recipe, but you can't pull it out once it's mixed in.

Also, for variations, blend other things in with the other ingredients. Try adding a few jarred roasted red peppers into the mix. You can also add things like pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, or olives of some sort. If you like it spicy, add some more cayenne or red pepper flakes to give it more of a kick.

This stuff is great with raw veggies (score!), and goes well with chicken/turkey too.
