Simplistic Spread

This recipe is going on record as the easiest one on this entire blog. All that is required is mixing some very key ingredients in a bowl. This is an amazing recipe to have in your arsenal because it can be whipped together when you have unexpected guests or when you are looking for a quick snack with a special twist. I served this recipe with Sea Salt flavored New York Style Bagel Crisps. You could make your own crostini if you desire, but that would involve one more unnecessary step.
