This recipe is from the Farmer's Market in CA. The samples tasted so good - I asked for the recipe and lo and behold the lady gave it to me, she said it has about 63 calories per Tablespoon; and that is best served at room temperature and is great with whole wheat pita chips, crackers, cucumber slices for dipping or you can use as a spread on crackers and sandwiches. --- Note: Leaving the seeds in, makes it seam like caviar!
