Directions:
Add all ingredients except the water to a food processor and blend until everything is a smooth consistency. You will probably have to scrape down the edges of the food processor bowl a couple of times to get everything chopped properly.
If the dip seems too thick, add a little bit of the water and pulse the food processor again. Keep adding water a little bit at a time until the dip is the consistency that seems good to you. It needs to be creamy and spreadable.
Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
