Open the jar and serve chilled or at room temperature. It is excellent as a standalone dip for crunchy snacks like tortilla chips or vegetable sticks. For a quick meal enhancement, spoon it over cooked rice, beans, or grilled meats. It can also be incorporated into larger recipes, adding moisture and flavor to casseroles or chili.
