  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. For an elegant presentation, spread the dip onto a serving plate and swirl with a knife to create a decorative design.

  7. Serve immediately with your favorite raw vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.
