I created this recipe to use as a dip as well as for turkey sandwiches or BLTs. My young daughters even like it! —Andria

This sounds like something I might like, a little sweet and salty. I bet substituting maple flavored bacon would be good too. One could use apple wedges or thick sliced cucumbers for dipping.
