- For the pita chips. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Tips:

- Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: Pita chips, crackers, vegetables, and fruit are all great options. You can also serve the dip as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
- Make the dip ahead of time: This dip can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator.
