NOTE:

- Vegetable Add-ins: Finely chopped spinach, beetroot, or zucchini can be added for color and nutrition.
- Flavor Boosters: Add a dash of mustard, horseradish, or Worcestershire sauce for depth.
- Texture Tips: For a smoother spread, blend in a food processor. For rustic texture, mix by hand.
- Serving Ideas: Spread on toast, crackers, or bagels. Use as a sandwich filling or dip for crudités.
- Storage: Keep refrigerated in a sealed container. Stir before each use.
- Presentation: Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika before serving.
