- If you prefer a less garlicky spread, reduce the amount of garlic called for in the recipe. You can also omit the garlic altogether.

- For a creamy and tangy spread, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
- Serve the spread as a dip with crackers, pita chips, or vegetable crudités. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a topping for grilled chicken or fish.
