You can then add other ingredients like chopped celery, onions, grapes, or nuts to customize the flavor and texture. For a simpler approach, use it as a ready-made sauce for pre-cooked chicken. It can also be used as a flavorful spread on crackers or as a dip for raw vegetables, offering a versatile addition to your kitchen.
