    Pro Tips...

    Garlic flavored flatbread crackers tasted great with this dip. Other good dipping options would be toasted french bread pieces or fresh and crisp veggies. It also tastes great with tortilla chips.

    Warm toasted bread with a bit of olive oil will take your presentation up a notch.

    Save some time by dicing the peppers in advance. Store them in the fridge in an airtight container.

        If it has a lot of liquid, I would suggest draining.

      your recipe sounds good....the only thing I'd change is put in Old Bay seasoning instead of the hot sauce....then you're just about at a Maryland crab cake!!! Come on summer!
