Aussie Swap #41: Outstanding dip!! Love the saltiness that the capers add to this!

Jan, you'd better hurry back to the land of food processors because this dip is excellent. It's dead easy to make, Also nice to see a dip recipe with no dairy. I used tuna with lemon and pepper (that's what I had on hand), and followed everything else, adding about a teaspoon of the extra virgin olive oil. Hubby has already used it as a spread for lunch. Later this afternoon, it will make an appearance at Friday night drinks at work. I'm already anticipating the squabbles over the last spoonful. I'd better make another batch -- and maybe I'll throw in a few of anchovies. Thanks for a keeper.
