      HAHA – You are thinking of the zucchini spread. Love that one! Eggplant version is a bit different – slightly different texture plus red peppers. It’s Serbian recipe

    Oh yum, that dip sounds like the perfect match to the chicken fries! I need to head to Sam’s and get some of these.

    I think that Tyson Chicken Fries might be the best party food ever. Haven’t tried but now that I see them on your blog, I just know they would be a massive hit!

    The dip sounds great! I make my own ketchup out of red peppers (I’m allergic to tomato), and I think it’s better than store bought ketchup 🙂

    We love Tyson’s chicken fries! I’ve never tried that type of dip though, thanks for the recipe, I think I would love it.
