Per tablespoon

Cooks quick tip ^ To toast almonds, place them in a small nonstick skillet and cover over medium-low heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, until theyre golden, about 5 minutes. ^ A drop of hot-pepper sauce (like Tabasco) may replace the ground red pepper.

NOTES : Show off this dip by serving in a sweet red pepper shell-half. Cut, remove seeds and membranes, rinse and dry. Use other half for crudites.
