I'm not a fan of pita chips, so I served the spread with crackers instead. It was still delicious.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the spread. It gave it a nice tangy flavor.

I'm allergic to dairy, so I used almond milk instead of regular milk. It turned out great!

This spread was too bland for my taste. I think it needed more garlic and salt.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my spread turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much milk.
