Terrific alternative to chips and dip that is healthier and just as tasty. I'd watch the game with this in front of me.

I think 1 tbsp of salt is a mistake? i should have listened to my gut...a tsp of salt is probably enough, Otherwise, it’s good!

Absolutely a mistake! I've updated the recipe, it's more of a "to taste" thing. Thank you for pointing this out!
