I just made this at 11 am, chilled then ate for 12 noon but did leave out the J.Peppers and garlic. Ate it with Fresh Crusted Portugese mini loaf of bread ! What a scrumptious meal! Thanks for sharing.....

I just made this for lunch. I left out the J peppers and garlic but it was delish all the same. Had it with homemade mini loaf of Portugese bread. Thanks for sharing with us.

This is really good as a dip for tortilla chips... those little Tostitos ones that look kind of like crowns work really well w/ it. Yum! And great idea for St. VdP!
